Amazon.com Product Description
The Polar F6 heart rate monitor is a great choice for using in large groups where other exercisers might be using wireless training gear that could interfere with your own signal. The F6's coded transmission prevents crosstalk with other monitors so you'll get a personalized workout--even in a class environment. It's packed with innovative training features to help you toward your exercise goals, including: 
The F6 displays your heart rate, exercise time, and average heart rate. | - Zone Pointer: A visible and audible feature on the display of your heart rate monitor showing your target heart rate zone and where your current heart rate is within that zone.
- Polar OwnCal: This feature shows your energy expenditure during one exercise session as well as your accumulated kilocalories during several exercise sessions. You can set daily and weekly exercise goals in terms of calorie expenditure with the OwnCal feature. Because the OwnCal tracks both the energy expenditure during one exercise session and the accumulated kilocalories during a longer time e.g. one week, it helps in achieving both short term and long term goals.
- Polar OwnZone: This feature guides you through an appropriate warm-up routine and automatically determines a safe and effective exercise heart rate zone--your OwnZone--while taking into account your current physical condition.
- Polar OwnCode: This technology blocks unwanted signals from other heart rate monitors, ensuring disturbance-free transmission of your heart rate data.
The Fitness Bullets feature shows a bullet on the monitor's display for every 10 minutes spent exercising/training in your target heart rate zone. The Time in Target Zone feature calculates the amount of total exercise time spent in your personal target zone. You can use this feature together with the Total Exercise Time to determine the effectiveness of your exercise program. You can also better assess your training data using the included Polar Precision Performance (PPP) 4.0 software and the SonicLink feature, which wirelessly uploads exercise settings to the software or to Polar's web service. Other features include: - Display of heart rate, exercise time and average heart rate
- 24-hour clock with day/week indicator and stopwatch
- Large easy-to-read display with split screen
- One-year average battery life
- Water resistant to 30 meters (100 feet)
Manufacturer's Warranty
The original purchaser of this heart rate monitor is backed by a limited warranty that states that this product that the product will be free from defects in material or workmanship for two years from the date of purchase. About Polar
The first EKG accurate wireless heart rate monitor was invented by Polar back in 1977 as a training tool for the Finnish National Cross Country Ski Team. The concept of "intensity training" by heart rate swept the athletic world in the eighties. By the 1990s, individuals were looking to heart rate monitors not only for performance training needs, but also for achieving everyday fitness goals. Today, the same concept of heart rate training is being used by world-class athletes as well as everyday people trying to lose weight. Polar is the leading brand among consumers, coaches, and personal trainers worldwide and the company is committed to not only producing the best products, but also being the leading educator on the benefits of heart rate based exercise.

 Great Purchase November 5, 2009
M. Rodriguez (Florida)
I bought this heart monitor to help me get the most out of my work outs. So far it has been great at helping me stay in my target heart heart zone and I love the weekly summary. It beeps when your heart rate is too low or too high. The calories burned it correct as well. It is a great product!
 Most important detail: DISPOSABLE November 3, 2009
TedO (Colorado USA)
The most important thing you need to know: the Polar F6 is essentially a disposable product that lasts about a year. The battery must be replaced by the factory; A MAJOR HASSLE. Other than that, functionality, usability, and accuracy are quite good. However, given the battery issue, I will not buy Polar again.
Heart Rate; Now I know October 27, 2009
Lynn A Riley (St Louis MO USA)
This works great. It shows my heart rate while I exercise. It also shows calories burned. It works as promised. It arrived on time. I am pleased. Good product.
 maybe the best available -but- designed by a nonexerciser October 26, 2009
R. House (Alexandria, VA USA)
This works fine and is compatible with the monitor on my precor elliptical.
But I am surprised and unhappy at one property. It should be no secret to the Polar folks that I bought this to monitor my heart rate. Imagine my surprise that the Polar designers chose to make that difficult! The heart rate number is very often not visible. What must have been the thinking when this decision was made??
With a couple button presses (wearing the band), the heart rate does come on. Okay that is fine. The numerals could be larger, but whatever. Next is the feature for which this device should have been designed: a couple more button presses, and it is supposed to display and measure for an exercise period the elapsed time and the heart rate. NOW the heart rate *B L I N K S* off and on....... What? Why?
For example, when I'm riding my bike thru the park, most recently in the late afternoon, under the trees---it is not particularly easy to glance at an LCD watch and read the small numbers. But it is even more difficult if the number you want to check is blinking off...and...on. Mostly when I glance it appears to be OFF. Is this blinking supposed to help me? To be synced with my heart rate and inform me in some way about my pulse? Ya know, I just want the number, please. Instead of a brief glance of a second or less, it truly may take me 3 or 4 seconds to actually read the heart rate! Okay, this seems innocuous, but even traveling my modest 5-25 mph, I am sharing a narrow trail with random fallen nuts, leaves, sticks, dirt, occasional pedestrians, other bikers, baby strollers, and last week even a deer ran across the trail in front of me (a first for me). Why make my desire to just glance & check my pulse more difficult and more dangerous?
Sure, reading the blinking number would be very easy in bright or medium indoor lights, when I'm able to concentrate mainly on that task (as I suppose the Polar engineers must have been doing when choosing this behavior). But even when I'm inside lifting weights, I don't want to take several seconds to fully read the d*@#n pulse number.
There may be some unusual way to modify this behavior and have the pulse number just display. Some firmware switch which can be accessed by an unusual combination of button presses. But that--like many of the apparently 'advanced' aspects of using the heart rate monitor--is not mentioned in the accompanying guide (some web site is mentioned where one is encouraged to buy some added software). Yes, I could possibly just forego timing the exercise session & recording the pulse history, but I did pay a hundred bucks for this thing and I feel I'm entitled to being able to record the session and see my pulse clearly.
Good heart rate monitor October 7, 2009
Mrs. Murphy (Lawrenceville, GA)
I really like this polar watch...the only problems that I have had with it is that sometimes it doesn't keep up with my heartrate. Well, I should say once in a while. Always in the middle of a workout. Usually if I move it around several times it will start to find the correct heart rate. Overall, I am happy with the purchase.
