User Reviews
Received the package with HR Band Strap receiver battery dead. User can not replace the battery. That is pretty much a scam to take your money $50+ for a new HR Strap / receiver where you must send it in.
This is a throw away watch. Have no mistake about that fact. Sportline has a battery replaceable HR strap that works better with the watch and is more comfortable. If you have to adhoc one together and salvage it to work before the watch battery dies in a year or two.
Buy a Timex instead, it is more water resistant, has better functions, and takes more abuse. Timex watchs and HR sensors are user battery replaceable.
Polar got my $$$ this time, but never again will I buy one and better yet against polar, I will spread the word about their shoddy work to my friends.
They are working 30 years in the past compared to other company's products.
Never again!!! -- Battery Failure, Greedy Polar $$$$, Never Again
This is a good monitor. I use it at the gym and it doesn't get interferance from others around me! Love that! Also, the filing and diary features are great. I can look back at the last few weeks and see my averages and total calorie count and time spent exercising. -- Good Heart Monitor...
The Polar F6 Heart Rate Monitor is a fun little gadget to help you get motivated to work out. You can track how many calories are burned, and check that you're in your fat burning heart rate zone while you work out.
WIth regards to fit, my wrist is 5 3/4 inches in circumference and this watch fits perfectly. The watch can be adjusted as small as 4 1/4 inches to as big as 7 1/2 inches. The spacing between the adjustment holes is about 1/4 inches apart and there are 19 holes, so there is a wide range of adjustment options. The face is about 2 inches tall and 1 1/2 inches wide.
The stock transmitter is just fine, it came in medium. It slips right under the band of my work out bra and stays there during cycling, running, and Tae Bo. I haven't had a problem with it slipping while I work out, and I work out pretty hard (average 450 calories per workout) and have been working out with it for about 7 weeks now.
The only downside is that the program Polar uses to download your workout information to your computer is not Mac compatible for the F6. So if you have a Mac, make sure to check that the Polar you are purchasing is Mac compatible, as Polar has made some of its newer Heart Rate Monitors Mac compatible.
I would order from this seller again. I ordered my product around midnight on a Saturday and got my F6 the following Monday! Quick! -- Polar F6 excercise motivator
I love it! Occasionally I have a problem getting the strap placed correctly to register my heart rate. I am just wondering if I need a smaller sized strap though. -- Great!
This was my first heart rate monitor purchase and I am pleased with how easy it is to use. I love that it calculates my calories and keeps a diary of what I have done for the week. Simple to use and comfortable. I would recommend it! -- first timer
