Advantages: Comfortable, ECG accurate, cheap Disadvantages: No extra features
...I have had this Heart Rate for 2 months now (since mid jan) and absolutely love it. Despite being an aspiring athlete aiming for high performance, I was also on a very tight budget and found that many of the other features available in some of the more expensive models (I found this for £35) just weren't really necessary.
All you need for training using an HRM is to know your heart rate, not calories expended or fat burned, it is very simple to work out what levels to exercise at with guidance from the instruction booklet provided. This is the cheapest and most reliable form of HRM that you are going to find. Polar are a world renowned brand and the product is of top quality, the strap worn is comfortable and you soon forget that you are wearing it, yet provides ECG accurate heart rates.

...I'm a bit of a fitness freak and enjoy the benefits of doing exercise and feeling good but confess to lacking in knowledge on the technology front, so I'm never first in the queue when anything new comes on the market. Therefore I surprised myself when I started looking into a Heart Rate Monitor.
A heart rate monitor is just that, it monitors your heart rate whilst you exercise.
The idea of buying the HRM was to monitor my time spent exercising and to maintain my optimum target zone. The purpose of getting this zone right is crucial to anyone wanting to maintain a steady (healthy) weight.
To find your personal target heart rate zone sounds relatively easy but it took me three or four attempts before I got it right as I couldn't get to grips initially with the unit. Basically, the function requires you need to take five minutes...
