Polar RS100 What I was looking for.
This is a pretty solid product. If you are looking for a simple and reliable heart rate monitor, this is the one to buy. It stores the total amount of calories you have burned and your last work out. If you are looking for specific work outs, it will lack there, but it does a great job of reporting the basics. It reports your curren heart. Creates a training zone or you can manually enter in where your target training zone would be. I'm very pleased with the quality and information this item provides.

Polar RS100 Rugged, effective, indispensable.
Polar RS100 Rugged, effective, indispensable.
I use this HRM between 4 and 6 times per week. I can't imagine working out without it. The features are relatively basic. If you want to download your information to a computer, it is probably worth stepping up to one of the higher priced models. But this one provides all of the information about your heart rate that you really need.

Polar RS100 Watch Great Deal!
Polar RS100 Watch Great Deal!
Got this as a gift for my wife. Fairly easy to set-up, and works great. The chest strap is comfortable, and it's even water resistant to use for swimming (although we haven't tried that yet). Added benefit is that it automatically syncs with exercise equipment that uses Polar as well. Like treadmils, orbital machines, etc... No grabbing the bars, it sends the hear rate right to the machine. Great!

Polar RS100 Watch Great Product
Polar RS100 Watch Great Product
I really love this heart rate monitor! The only slightly negative thing I can say is that while it is unisex, it looks big on my wrist (I am a petite female). However, since female HRMs are smaller, it's hard (if not impossible) to find one that displays all the features that this HRM does. The fact that it is bigger makes it quite easy to read while running. And, you can toggle through the top line to display your lap time, time of day, or calories burned while you're using it. There's no way I could trade it for a female HRM.
If you are a female, then my advice is to first decide whether you're okay with the larger watch (if it's any help you get used to the larger size after awhile). If so, then I highly recommend this one.

Polar RS100 Heart Rate Monitor Great Product.
Polar RS100 Heart Rate Monitor Great Product.
This HRM has great functions and works well as described. The sensor responses fast to sundden rises / drops of heart beats. The only downside of this product is that it can only store one set of workout record at a time(your workout summary for the day). Other than that, it's all good.
Polar RS100 Heart Rate Monitor Came fast, works great.
I couldn't believe that ordering a product from Sweden on Amazon would cost 500 SEK less than in the stores here and on top of that be delivered in one day.
Thanks a million for great service for a great product.

Polar RS100 best cost benefit.
bought for my wife. great you can have 3 lines of information i.e. bpm, timing and elapsed time. not all models do that, even the most expensive ones.
cant go wrong with that. will buy another one to replace my old FS1.
Polar RS100 Love this watch.
Love this watch. It tracks my heart rate perfectly. It let's me know how many calories I've burned in a single session. Hold the watch up to your chest monitor and it displays the time and your heart rate limits. Very easy to use, helps me track my workouts perfectly.

Polar RS100 Heart Rate Monitor Easy to use.
Easy to use starter model. Looks great and sits conveniently on wrist .
Note that this watch does not allow data uploading to Web/PC using sonicLink technology (it allows only logo downloads and setting alarm). Look at its sibling RS200 if you need to upload your exercise data to PC/Web
Polar RS100 Heart Rate Monitor very comfortable.
The Polar RS100 works great. Have had no trouble with it whatsoever. It reads my HR great and the strap is very comfortable.

this is one of the best heart rate monitors out there. It has all the little features you want that make it better than the basic ones, yet is reasonably priced. I use it while swimming mostly and it has held up well over the last 100,000 meters. The lap function is priceless.

Excellent low cost watch, perfect for measuring energy loss and lap times. Not recomended for every day use as a watch since the red button on the front tends to press itself and starts the chronometer.

Polar RS100 Heart Rate Monitor OK!
Polar RS100 Heart Rate Monitor OK!
This is my first heart rate monitor, which I use for running and cycling. It is pretty simple to use, fits great, and all components are hand washable. In addition to average heart rate, max and min, it tells you how many calories you've burned, and the percent of those calories from fat. You can also track your performance on laps, such as when you're doing intervals or speed work, but I haven't yet mastered that function.
What this HRM lacks: A GPS to track distance and pace (I use the RunKeeper app on my mobile phone to do that), and the capability to transmit your workout data wirelessly to your computer. I enter that info manually into a training diary that I created on the Polar website. If that seems too tedious, you might want to spring for a more expensive model.
Polar RS100 Heart Rate Monitor Came fast, works great.
I couldn't believe that ordering a product from Sweden on Amazon would cost 500 SEK less than in the stores here and on top of that be delivered in one day.
Thanks a million for great service for a great product.

Polar RS100 Good product, just few complaints.
Good product with basic functions and nice features like the "own zone", works with some machines at the gym.
Cons: weak sound alarm, you can barely hear it in most situations, almost useless PC utility, it doesn`t download training data to the PC.

Polar RS100 REVIEWS
Polar RS100 Great monitor for basic use and with cardio machines.
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.
Polar RS100 Great product.
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.
Polar RS100 Great!!
The Polar RS100 is simple, objective, does what it is supposed to do in a clear way. The most important thing about this product is the price, which is very good for the functions, appearance and quality.
Product recommended!
Polar RS100 Heart Rate Monitor Good even for a newby.
This is my first heart rate monitor. Bought it after comparing reviews, and I'm not disapointed. It is easy enough to figure out, and the instruction manual helps you get there quickly with good illustrations and descriptions, and a layout that helps you find what you're looking for. I've used it while doing ligher weight supersets as a fatburning/toning exersize, to keep my heartrate within the zone. It is simple enough to use that I was able to read a few targeted pages in the manual, fiddle with it for about 5min, then go get started. So far I have not had any problems with the watch losing contact, except for the first trial-run when I didn't put any moisture on the electrodes in the band.
Polar RS100 Heart Rate Monitor
I'm very please with this purchase since I get lots of functions and utility's. I replace my old Polar FS3 Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Dark Grey) with this model and is like comparing a Ferrari with a Fiat. Basic functionality is there but this have a lot of goodies like calorie count, laps, stopwatch, and heart rate monitor, plus the new wearlink T31 coded transmitter which is more comfortable than the older models. Overall a heart rate monitor is key if you serious about getting fit and this is a great option.
Polar RS100 Best Price, My First Heart Rate Monitor.
This is the first heart rate monitor I've ever purchased and it's extremely easy to use. All of the buttons are in the right places when you're running and the strap is pretty comfortable. Recommend this for anyone who cycles and runs like myself. The display is big enough to see if you want to glance at it quick on the run and the backlight works great for running at night.
Polar RS100 Best Buy, Super product.
I had never used a heart rate monitor before and now I wont run without it. The feedback I get on run is great and helps me challenge myself towards the end of my run. The buttons on it are very intuitive. Very easy to start, get the lap splits, see you total time, lap time, number of laps, and see what time it is. This is a very good choice for a watch and heart rate monitor.
