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.

 Super simple and works great November 27, 2009
R. Scheer (Joliet IL)
It works great and is very simple. I somehow lost the owners manual before I even had a chance to use the monitor but I was able to figure out how to use all of the features intuitively. I don't know what the $150 dollar monitors do but this one is good enough for me.
The basic best but bigger than looks & an annoying feature. April 10, 2009

The Polar hart monitors are unquestionably the best on the market, comfortable, rugged, and even waterproof for the aquatic minded. This is a good choice basic model that I purchased for a teenage daughter starting track. It looks dainty in the ad but it totally covers her wrist and I was dissapointed that it's just too big for a woman to wear as an attractive wrist watch. It has an optional auditory alarm when out of your zone that beats inanely & annoyingly when your HR is below or above your selected target range. My daughter always turns it off and it has been the gratest dissapointment in comparison with my ancient model that beeped in synchrony with my actual individual hartbeats when I was IN my zone. I could hear missed or double hartbeats, but all importantly I could synchronize my running cadence to my hartbeat for improved efficiency where the contracting large muscles aid circulation in synch with the hart contractions. Absence of that basic feature replaced by silence when in zone and by very annoying innane beeping when out has been a great dissapointment and a step back in the design of this equisite instrument.
Simple and works well April 10, 2009
Gregory Thimgan (Lincoln, NE)
This Polar set up is simple to use and work very well during my workouts. The chest strap is simple to hook and unhook and fits around my 52" chest adjusted all the way out. Happy with the purchase.

Easy to set, easy to read, and with one button to press it couldn't be simpler. Highly recommended.
Great basic heart rate monitor February 26, 2009

I have been wanting a good heart rate monitor for some time simply because I didn't trust what the built-in monitor on my treadmill was telling me. This is a great basic monitor! Easy to use and program. Have only got to use it a few weeks so far and the reading seem to be right on. The alarm also helps you keep track of when you fall in or out of your heart rate zone, and the backlight is good for using at night or a dark room. If being an athlete is your job then you may want to look into some of the other Polar models, but if you are doing everyday cardio activities to stay in shape, this monitor is a good start.
