Train harder and better while keeping in tune with your body when you wear Polar's F7 Heart Rate Monitor that not only tracks and alerts you to your heartrate, but helps you to customize your workout to your level of fitness. Get the workout you need with the automatic or manual target zones, push yourself using the OwnZone indicator, and track progress in terms of time, distance, average heartrate, time in target zones, and calories burned.

Features:

  • Even if you're working out in the dark morning hours or late at night - you still get what you need thanks to the bright backlight
  • Find and hit your pace with the automatic age-based or manual target zone and percent of your maximum heart rate and beats per minute; observe it via the graphical target zone indicator
  • Keep track of your average heart rate and wireless EKG heart rate, the exercise date, fitness bullets, target zones, calories burned, and push the limits with the Polar OwnZone that takes your current physical condition into account
  • Know you've reached your target zone with the adjustable-volume audible alarms and ZonePointer indicator - a moving symbol that indicates that you're within the zone; access it all via the HeartTouch button-free operation
  • Take it scuba-diving or train for a tri - water-resistant to 50 meters, with optional bike mount, plus it's compatible with Polar T31 coded and WearLink+31 coded transmitters
  • Track your personal best with data recording for average heart rate, calorie expenditure, distance, exercise time, target zone limits, and time in target zones - track it with the Exercise Diary that formulates weekly totals
  • Transfer data to your PC via the SonicLink or UpLink (microphone, sound card, and headphones required) or via the Polar WebLink and edit wrist settings with the Polar UpLink tool
  • Wear it to the office where standard watch features like a date and weekday indicator, low battery indicator, and time of day with an alarm come in handy

Great Watch

Rating:****
The first thing to note is that the face is NOT pink. I purchased this watch after using a cheap generic heart monitor for some time. Getting the watch setup was EASY and tracking data is a breeze. The ONLY down side of this product is that you have to use your computer microphone and speakers to get data onto the website, and to customize the settings. However if you can find a quiet area and have a little time it is very possible to use all the functionality.

Nice running Aid!

Rating:****
Before getting this watch, I always wondered how many calories I burned and etc. Now I don't have to wonder any longer! After playing with the settings, I got the watched set to the way I like it. I have had a couple problems with the watch not finding the heart rate monitor, but that only happens rarely. Other than that, it's easy to figure out and very stylish to boot!

Great HRM

Rating:****
Takes a while to get used to some of the features. Not all items are clearly explained in the manual. However, once you figure them out, its pretty easy to activate. Seems to be very accurate with its readings and responsiveness. It doesnt take hardly any effort to get the monitor to pick up your heart beat. Better than other Polars I've had. Looking forward to using it.

AS a TriAthlete, this watch works very well. Wish it had a GPS, but for the price it is a very helpful tool.
