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.
