Great HRM for Cycling and ExercisingApr 15, 2008
I feel I really have to write a review... after all, I felt I took a bit of a gamble on this product given some of the negative previous reviews. Yet this HRM had all the features I wanted - an HRM that can be used to keep track of cycling exercises and could also be used independently of the bike at the gym or when running.
I've used this product for about 3 months now. I've biked close to 400 miles and have completed over 40 exercises with it (both biking, gym, and running). I am very happy to say that it has functioned flawlessly in all conditions... it has been used:
- in the rain
- in freezing conditions
- in the city
- in the gym
The watch has not frozen or restarted. I was very afraid of this from a previous review.
I have confirmed the distances it has calculated by GPS - and have used it on 2 of my bikes. Each time after setup it worked well.
I have also used this HRM with the optional cadence sensor which has worked fine as well.
So the roundup:
*** PROS
- Has worked flawlessly in all conditions and during all workouts
- Provides all features as documented
- Intuitive and easy to use interface
- Free Polar web software to track exercises and stats
*** CONS (all minor)
- Wireless data transfer can takes time to setup - It took me a while to get it to work with my laptop. I think I spent about an hour futzing with it, but once I got my setup it works every time.
- Polar website is slow and doesn't export data to CSV or Excel.
- The buttons feel a little cheap (but hey, they work fine).

 Dont waste your moneyNov 13, 2007
I received my fourth, yes my forth replacement watch from Polar yesterday, and I'll be sending it back tomorrow. The first one, the one I bought, worked fine except that the sonic link tones it produced were so low it could take 45 min. before you would get a successful upload to the website. When I called Polar I was told that they had had a problem with a batch of watches and that they would fix it. I sent it in, got a new one sent to me which did the exact same thing. I called them again, explained the problem again and was told they had sent me one of the bad watches by mistake. The third one was fine, for about two weeks. While on a ride the speed stopped displaying. Then it would start again but the cadence would quite. Then the heart rate would go nuts, the speed would quit, the cadence would go nut, the speed would go nuts also, and on and on. I called back, they sent me another one, my fourth, which I received yesterday. I went for a ride this morning, got back, went to upload my data and nothing. Not one chirp from the sonic link. I have had it with this thing. Time to get my money back and find a monitor that is NOT made in China.

One star because heart rate works...Nov 12, 2007
Well, do you remember Windows 3.1? You was working at computer and they just rebooted... some think like that occur w/ this Polar... You are in a hardly running or cycling and the Polar - some times - reset, making you loose the current data...
Bad, but is not only it... The Weblink/Soniclink just not work. If you have plan to transfer the data from Polar to PC just choose another type of communication. I had succes only two times and have tried a lot of...
The byke mount is a piece of junk two... The older Polar model is much beter.
The odometer also does not works w/ precision, some times they continue increasing value, but the byke is stoped... The cataye ciclocomputer have more accuracy and precision.
Well... The heart rate works, some times fine.
