This watch does not work! It did not pick up my heart rate at all the second time using it! I had to send it back for a refund. What a disappointment!!!

I have been biking for awhile now and I recently got an indoor trainer and some DVD’s to use to keep in shape over the winter months. So after doing them a few times I realized that I would be much better off if I knew my heart rate so I could train correctly for hard/easy days.
The first few times I used it I had problems because I was not wearing it quite tight enough because after I tightened it up it has worked perfectly. I have had it all the way from 70 to 194 bpm and it seems to react as I would expect for various levels of excursion.
My biggest complaint is that it doesn’t keep track of the max heart rate for a training session, the more expensive ones do, so I guess you get what you pay for sometimes…but as long as you pay attention when you think you are getting close you can still find your max rate.
One other thing I saw on some reviews was that it was too small for men, but I’m 5’11 and nearly 200 lbs and it fits me, in fact I had it on too loose at first, yeah it is tight feeling but it has to be to work.
For someone just starting out this is a great tool and only has 1 button, so there isn’t much complicated about it. I would recommend this to anyone looking to start heart rate training, it has been proven to really help build aerobic capacity and strength when done properly.

I was looking for something easy to use. As I have started training and wanting to lose weight, I have needed to manage my heart rate. This is perfect. It belt picks up on the treadmill, and the watch beeps if I am below or above my heart rate zone for weight loss I pre-programed. I would recommend if you need/want to stay within a particular heart rate zone.

Easy to read, easy to use, not for elite atheletes who want a lot of info and storing capacity

I got one of the Polar FS1 heart rate monitors through my employer’s health center. I think it is a complete piece of junk. The strap is very difficult to fasten around your wrist. The chest band is almost impossible to get it to stay on. You attach one side and the other falls off. You go fix that side, and the first falls off. And the reading seems to be wildly inaccurate, telling me I’m at 180 when I am barely breathing hard, while my treadmill tells me I’m at 140. In addition, with no backlight the display is difficult to read. The one button control is extremely inconvenient. Basically, this is a complete waste of money. I’ll be donating it to the thrift store. What a waste of money.
