 Great watch September 1, 2008
I love this watch, is perfect for exercising, counting the burned calories, and for heart rate monitor.
I Love this Heartrate Monitor!! August 20, 2008
I have had the an F11 women's for the past 2 years, with no problems. I decided to get this one for my boyfriend and he loves it! It is so easy to use and comfortable to wear. There are 3 heart rate zones and a diary to keep track of workouts and calories burned. This is a great product!

Works well enough. Don't understand all the hubbub about it creating a personalized workout routine, nor is there good documentation about the "OwnZones" and why they are important.
Nice features, accurate August 2, 2008
This monitor is accurate and works well. It doesn't get interference from equipment as my old monitor did, due to the coded transmission feature. The only feature I would like to have that the watch doesn't offer is to display HR simultaneously as BPM and % of max. You have to choose one or the other in the setup menu and then you can only see that one selection during an exercise session.
Good choice July 27, 2008
I looked through most of the Heart Rate Montior products before buying the Polar F11. All I wanted was a reliable HRM that could be read by the machines at the gym, track calories burned, tell me when I am over the top of my exercise zone, and hopefully provide a way to upload exercise data to my computer. Pretty basic stuff, and the F11 fulfills all that just fine.
It's comfortable enough to wear while hiking, chopping wood, fishing, etc. The watch component is water-resistant enough that I don't have to worry about getting it wet while unhooking fish, and I can use it like a regular watch during outdoor activity.
I do a lot of uphill hiking (and just about as much downhill...) and condition myself on treadmills. I have noticed that the calorie counter takes the uphill slope into consideration only indirectly, through the increased exertion indicated by heart rate, so the HRM calorie tracking is quite a bit off from the treadmill's tracker - 10% to 20% lower. Not a big deal for me.
It has a lot of features I haven't used, and probably won't, but then I wasn't buying the F11 for them. This HRM does everything I want, was one of the least expensive and least over-featured, top-line quality, and a very good buy for me.
