The first EKG accurate wireless heart rate monitor was invented by Polar back in 1977 as a training tool for the Finnish National Cross Country Ski Team. The concept of "intensity training" by heart rate swept the athletic world in the eighties. By the 1990s, individuals were looking to heart rate monitors not only for performance training needs, but also for achieving everyday fitness goals. Today, the same concept of heart rate training is being used by world-class athletes as well as everyday people trying to lose weight. Polar is the leading brand among consumers, coaches, and personal trainers worldwide and the company is committed to not only producing the best products, but also being the leading educator on the benefits of heart rate based exercise.

 Great bang for the buck. August 26, 2010
David
My biggest concern was that this product would interfere with my CatEye wireless cyclocomputer. And much to my surprise there are no problems at all with using both products together. So if you are looking for a fairly inexpensive setup for heart rate / cadence / speed, all done wirelessly, I highly suggest this HR monitor along with the CatEye Strada Double wireless computer. The two together cost ~$100 with shipping. Not bad!
Great for lap swimming! August 1, 2010
J. M. Jones (Yuba City, Ca. United States)
This is my first heart rate monitor and I really took a chance when buying it because I wanted to use it to swim and couldn't find any reviewers who used it that way. Thankfully, I wasn't disappointed.
I've been using it regularly for about a month now, primarily for swimming laps, but also for some biking. The chest strap fit well (my chest is 33" where I place the strap) and the elastic band was adjusted to about the middle so it could adjust many inches in either direction. I wear a two piece racing swimsuit and it fits securely under the bottom of top piece of my suit (or I'll tuck it under my sports bra if I'm biking). Once it's in place I hardly notice it's there at all.
The instructions say that you are most likely to have signal problems when you are in the water but I have never had any problems with it not receiving a heart rate signal and it seems very accurate.
The single button on the watch took some getting used to, but after reading the instructions once I was able to use it without any problem. As others have stated, it only has the basic features. It monitors heart rate and allows you to program in your target heart rate zone. It has a beep function that will warn you if you go outside of your target heart rate zone, and that feature can be turned on and off. It has a timer that goes to 60 minutes before starting over, and of course the basic watch function. The screen is large and the contrast is good even in direct sunlight. I can even read it under several inches of water.
Once you have it set up, when you want to start exercising all you do is push the button. It takes about 15 seconds for it to start registering your heart rate and then provides a constant reading after that. It also starts the timer. It defaults to to the beats per minute while you are exercising, but you can hold it close to the chest strap and switch between that, the timer and the time. When you are done exercising you push the button again and it stops reading your heart rate and returns back to the regular watch function. That's all this device does, so if you want more features I would suggest a higher model.
My only complaint is that there is no way to pause the timer. Sometimes, my workout gets interrupted when I get coaching on how to improve a stroke. I would like to be able to pause the timer feature so I can better keep track of how long I was actually within my target heart rate zone, but the device does not have that feature. Once you stop it, it clears the timer as well. It's not a make or break deal for me since I just do a little adding and can figure it out myself.
Overall, a great basic heart rate monitor, I don't know how I lived without it.
Just Perfect July 15, 2010
E. Park (Greenville, SC)
This heart rate monitor was just what I needed. It's easy to use and effective. I suppose it doesn't have as many extra features as some of the higher end models, but it's just what I need for my low-impact workouts. I was afraid the watch itself was going to be too big (I'm a woman with fairly small wrists) but it fits well. I'm quite satisfied with this product.

This item was ordered and delivered from J&R. It arrived in a sealed plastic case, needing a box-cutter to open. It was totally non-functional. I do not blame the retailer. It is not their job to inspect every item before shipping, difficult as it is to see the display in the package. I thought pushing the button would start the clock (and HR monitor) but it was dead. I have arranged for a refund from the shipper. But beware of buying this product.
