Not great

The polar heart rate monitor was faulty. Didnt pick up correct heart rate. Sometimes stayed on a constant low rate no matter how fast I was running, then other times went as high as 260bpm when I was just standing still. Not sure if product in general doesnt give accurate readings or whether I had a faulty item.

My advice is, its cheap for a reason. If you want a monitor that works, go for a more expensive version. This one is not user friendly as one button functions all settings and doesnt pick up heart rate properly. Not impressed.

Exactly what I was looking for

I bought this Heartrate monitor for my husband who recently suffered a heart attack even though he has always been a fitness junky. Being a bit of a technophobe I wanted a monitor that was simple to use, to be certain that he would use it whenever he was exercising. True to its description it does just that. Very pleased

Battery life extremely poor

I bought this heart rate monitor to track my cardio work in the gym. It works well and helped me in my workouts. However, the battery life is terrible. When I took delivery of it, the battery life was already low on the wrist part. It lasted about a month and then died, I had a battery put in in the local watch shop and this lasted an even shorter period of time, maybe 3 weeks. Ive given up on it, it was a total waste of money.
