Polar F11 Heart Rate Monitor - 2007 BCS

This is a great way to know the output of my workout. I am in my 50's and I can get my heart rate just where I want it without over or under working. And believe me it has really helped lower my resting heart rate and burn a few extra pounds off by staying in the fat burning zone. I found out I was actually working too hard a lot of the time.

The heart monitor works great, I wear in spinning class with no interference from others. I also use it jogging and biking outdoors. I realize I was sometimes working too hard and sometimes not hard enough. I will not go without again. I am just getting to the other options on the monitor, so I can't report on that part of the monitor.

I shopped for over a year for a hear rate monitor. I train in gyms and at home. I am 50 years old and have been exercising for the last 27 years. This monitor was my selection because of the number of features, and the price, which this website had the best price. The watch has the ability to collect and store a lot of data, and the instruction book says there is a way to download data to my computer with some optional software. I rate this product a 10/10 for features, ease of use and applicability to my exercise needs. I like it because I can customize my exercise goals and I get feedback daily and weekly (it even gives me a positive message when I have met my goals for the entire week). Right now I am using it to help me burn enough calories per day to drop some weight and to maximize my cardiovascular fitness (that is a choice for goal setting with this product). I can see how much time I have spent in each of three exercise zones based on the data the device collects. Great product. If you want to get a lot of information for different exercise and fitness goals, get this heart rate monitor, it is an investment in yourself, and after all, what is your health worth?

I had a Polar M32, and it did the job okay, but had some problems with cross-talk. I wasn't particularly fond of the style/look. This watch is great in all ways! I regularly attend indoor cycling and have had no issues with cross-talk. The features are really cool and easy to use, and I am in love with the look! Highly recommended!
