Inaccurate HR reading Sep 02, 2010 This HRM is completely inaccurate. It's not that it is not reading my heart rate, but that it says that my resting HR is 39-40 bpm, when it is actually around 60. It did work one time but that was it. Every time I've used it, except for one workout, it has stated that my HR is between 40-55 bpm during a heavy workout! I'm going to have to return it and I'll probably get a Timex instead.

lackluster at best - better deals out there Aug 12, 2010 I generally don't write reviews about stuff but I really wish someone on this board would have written this...so I decided to do something about it for the next potential customer. The main issue with this watch is that there is no way to change the information displayed on the main (big font) line of the display. So, if you are doing interval training or keeping track of your mile/km times in a race, you cannot make these lap times large enough to comfortably see. Instead, you are stuck with the total time of the workout as it accumulates with the lap time in small, hard to read font above it. I am 26, have great vision, and do not normally have a hard time reading fine print - but, when you're running at 90% max HR it's difficult to steady and synchronize your bouncing head and swinging arm. Can you picture the fun?
I owned a Nike heart rate monitor and sold it because it didn't do lap times at all. I thought with this one I had solved my problems, but the staff at Polar insist on reserving this essential feature for the 200 series and above.
I will promptly be returning this for a Timex...much more bang for the buck.
Cheers and happy running!

Disappointing calorie calculation Aug 06, 2010 This heart rate monitor was easy to use, once I read the manual and figured out how to set it.
However, I've used it on a couple of bike rides since I got it last week. Today, I biked 17.5 miles in just under 2 hours. Four different web site calorie calculators gave me calories-burned numbers of 879, 986 (2), and 994, based on my weight. The Polar RS100 gave me a number of 569. That seems abnormally low to me. A similar thing happened last time; the Polar was quite far below the websites.
This is disappointing, as I bought this primarily to show calories burned during exercise.
Great monitor for basic use and with cardio machines Jul 25, 2010 I was using a timex monitor that I got for cheap at Costco. It wouldn't work with the precor machines and I kept losing the signal. My trainer recomended buying a polar and replacing it and glad I did.
I get a reading as soon as I put on the strapband (with my timex sometimes there was a almost a minute delay before getting a reading even using heart rate cream on the strap). It works fine with all the precor machines and it is nice having the reading go on the machine and getting told the heartrate stats as well when I finish an eliptical machine work out.
There is one thing I dont like and I may just need to read up on it. I can't figure out how to get the time to show with the heartbeat. I also like to time some things and the only way I can figure out how to do it is with the lap feature. Not a big deal but I have the alarm sound turned to silent but it wsill still beep when I am outside my targeted heart rates which is annoying and embarrasing at a gym.
If someone wants a cheaper heart rate monitor go with this one. I wouldn't recomend any of the other ones that sell for cheaper like the timex, they don't work with the cardio machines and this does, and this one is also reliable.
Great product Jul 09, 2010 This is my first HRM so there was a learning curve on using the features of the product. I'm typically pretty good with electronics and functions/menus. For some reason it has taken me a little longer to get this one figured out. That said it works great, really helps me focus on the performance level of my workouts, I should have had one years ago. The workout summary is great and helps me track my progress. It took awhile to get used to the chest strap, it is not uncomfortable, but was different having a strap around my chest.
