Have been using the watch for a couple of weeks now, and am really just learning how to use it best for the workouts that I do. I feel like I am just on the tip of the iceburg for what the possibilities are in recording my exercise and reaching my goals. I did order a Small strap and received a Medium strap, but it’s been fine – not worth doing anything about.
The only thing that I have been unable to decide on is whether to use the standard 220 minus your age for your heartrate, or to try the OwnZone. What is difficult for me about having to do a 5 minute warm up before you start your exercise to create your OwnZone for the day is that, as a mom, I am on the run a lot and sometimes am a little late for the spin class and don’t have the 5 minutes needed to determing my OwnZone. So, have been using the 220 minus your age instead…. it is much easier but do intent to discuss with the Polar guy who comes to present/sell at our athletic club.

The monitor has great features. Probably the best in the market. My transmitter though only lasted for 64 hours of training. In spite of the good care I took of it after I used it. I had to replace it because you can’t replace the batteries.

To my surprise, you cannot change the batteries on this watch yourself.
The batteries will die after about 6 months to a year and you have to send it back to the factory (which means being without a watch for several weeks AND paying 30-50$ for battery replacement).
During battery replacement the factory damaged my watch.
At first it was just a crack in the lense of the watch… annoying but not worth the trouble of taking it back and using the 90 day guarantee.
Then a few days after 90 days, the “start” button fell off, the damage to the casing became apparent, and the glass lense completely split in two.
I am very annoyed with Polar but have not found another solution sooo…
I’m going to buy another one!
My recommendation: be extremely VIGILANT when you get your watch back from replacing the battery and take it right back to the store if you see any damage to the casing or the glass.

I really like this polar watch…the only problems that I have had with it is that sometimes it doesn’t keep up with my heartrate. Well, I should say once in a while. Always in the middle of a workout. Usually if I move it around several times it will start to find the correct heart rate. Overall, I am happy with the purchase.

I liked the POLAR F6 a lot, it is easy to use and useful in order to have the acurate measurement of the heart rate during the excercise session.

The heart monitor and watch work fine BUT the display is grainy, small, and hard to see. Far cheaper monitors and watches have far better, brighter, bigger displays.
And – the beeps to warn that you have gone above or below your heart range are so low that there is no way to hear them on the exercise floor! You have to keep the unit to your ear to hear them.
People recommended this so I bought this but I am not happy with this unit.
