Product Description
Zone Pointer monitors your target heart rate. OwnCal tracks calories burned for an effective workout. Easy-to-read monitor features a stopwatch and handy, button-free operation.

Amazon.com Product Description
The first women's-specific heart rate monitor watch from Polar, the F4 combines all the necessary heart rate features with a new, slim design. Heart rate watches are essential training tools for many runners, as they help you perform a mix of endurance workouts, tempo runs, and AT intervals by leading you through the routines and giving you valuable feedback on how to turn your weaknesses into strengths. Fitness runners will likely benefit most by running in a particular zone each day. For weight management, running in the 60 to 70 percent zone helps you burn fat and build endurance. Or you can increase your overall fitness by doing tempo runs in the 70 to 80 percent zone. Best of all, heart rate monitors aren't just for competitive runners, as casual joggers will also find them invaluable.

The F4 is packed with innovative training features to help you toward your exercise goals, including Zone Pointer and Polar OwnCal modes. The Zone Pointer is an audible and visual feature on the display of your F4 that shows you where your current heart rate sits within your target heart rate zone. Polar Own Cal, meanwhile, shows your energy expenditure during one exercise session, as well as your accumulated kilocalories during several exercise sessions. You can also set daily and weekly exercise goals in terms of calorie expenditure, helping you achieve both short-term and long-term goals.

Other features include a Fitness Bullet feature that shows a bullet on the monitor's display for every 10 minutes spent exercising/training in your target heart zone; a Time in Target Zone mode that calculates the amount of total exercise time spent in your personal target zone; water-resistance to 100 feet; a 24-hour clock with a day/week indicator and stopwatch; a large easy-to-read display with a split screen; a stopwatch; and a one-year average battery life. Sporting an attractive "red berry" housing, the watch carries a two-year warranty.

Manufacturer's Warranty
The original purchaser of this heart rate monitor is backed by a limited warranty that states that this product that the product will be free from defects in material or workmanship for two years from the date of purchase.

Note: Polar heart rate monitors are precision instruments; consumers are not advised to change their own battery. Polar recommends that all service be done by an authorized Polar Service Center which will include a warranty for 90 days on repairs and 6 months for batteries.

About Polar
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.

3 out of 5 stars Straps get yellowish, buttons cracked.   July 1, 2006
 40 out of 43 found this review helpful

I received this watch as a Christmas present in 2005. I have been using it for the past 6 months (average 2x per week). I spotted this exact watch but with yellowish straps at an expo from Polar after I got my watch for only 2 weeks and was diligent about keeping it clean, but to no avail, it turned yellowish after about 2 months and now it just looks dirty and old, the face is still the original "ice blue". If you are thinking about this watch, buy the black one.

After I started using it, I wished I went with another model since this one doesn't store any previous data. I track all my runs and sometimes I forget to record before my next run and I lose all my previous data once I press "start". In addition, it doesn't have a stopwatch. Once you press stop, it thinks you're done with your workout instead of just a pause or break so you can't track your actual total workout time. I just let it run even when I am at stoplights or water break. If lap feature is important, go with another model. Another complaint about this watch is that there's no backlight. I have to wait till I run under a street light to see my data. The data sheet said it has a backlight but I can't manage to find it.

Today both the buttons cracked and fell off my watch. Now it's useless.

I still have the most basic model from Polar (bought in 2000 and it's discontinued) that only monitors my HR and that thing still works because there's no buttons to push. Polar makes good HR monitor and I would still buy another one from them. Just not this one.



4 out of 5 stars Simple and easy   March 24, 2006

This watch is simple to use. The instructions are very easy to follow. It's fun being able to see my heart rate while I'm exercising. It works with the heart rate monitors on the equipment at my gym. I don't have to hold on to their handles. The signal is transmitted from this heart rate monitor to the treadmill, elyptical, or whatever, and shows up on the screne.
I wish the watch had a stopwatch and a light. No such luck.

I have enjoyed the Polar F4.. it took some time to understnad it at first, but it really is easy to use, very simple, I was making it more complicated than it really is.

I would buy it again for a gift or myself.

The functionality of the monitor is excellent. It is cumbersome so make adjustments using the two buttons on the watch because the numbers only advance so you have to go all the way around to lower your weight by two pounds as an example. The quick way around several of the personal settings is by using software available on the Polar web site but not mentioned in the manual. Using the software on your computer you can directly set some of the items using your computer.

It would be nice to have a cloth, velcro closure for the wrist band rather than the plastic wrist strap.



5 out of 5 stars Great watch   July 30, 2007
 20 out of 20 found this review helpful

This is a great heart rate monitor watch for the money. I've been using Polar watches for quite some time and think this is the best I've owned. I recently tested/compared this watch (F4) to Polar's M61. The F4 provided more accurate numbers regarding my calories burned (which is the most important thing for me--heart rate and calories burned). I wear an Apex Body Bug that also monitors my calories. When compared to the Body Bug (which is extremely accurate) the F4 was on the money. The M61 only showed that I burned about 1/2 of what the F4 and the BodyBug showed. I also wear my F4 while swimming (which I cannot do with the BodyBug). So far, this was held up great to all conditions. I'm considering purchasing another as a back up or in case Polar for some unknown reason discontinues the watch. Great product!!!
