 Polar sin la funcion mas importanteApr 24, 2008
Este modelo es buenisimo, pero le falta lo mas importante, oder calcular al terminar de entrenar con el toque de un boton, en un lapso de tiempo q uno programe (normalmente es 1 minuto) la recuperacionlograda despues del ejercicio( exactamente el numero de pulsaciones q desciende nuestro corazon en un minuto una vez parado el entrenamiento)
Este dato es muy importatnte para medir los avances en aduision o perdida de condicion fisica

 Great productApr 17, 2008
Based on other reviews I choose the RS100. I love it! I really enjoy using it in the water for my laps. That was a awesome surprise. I would recommend this product, but had troubles during my last half marathon and bike ride. I couldn't get it to read my heart rate and keep it for the duration of my workout. Disappointing to carry it without it working and not quite sure why, but next time I will make sure its working with no interference before heading to the start line.

Product is as it is advertised to beApr 14, 2008
This product has more functions than I am likely to use but it is easy to read. This is my second polar heart rate monitor having replaced the battery in the first watch several times. I was ready for a newer model. The watch band is very comfortable to wear, something that cannot be said for all "speciality" watches.

 I don't run without itApr 06, 2008
This heart rate monitor is my first, and is in the middle of my second marathon training season, and has gone with me to five half marathons. I bought it because of the dual timer. I started as a run walker and with two timers, it told me when to run and walk to take a walk break, and then got me back running again. I tuck the monitor underneath the bottom rim of my sports bra, and occasionally it slips down a bit, but mostly the elastic strap, not the actual monitor. I also used to have weird connection problems - out of the blue I would get impossibly readings. 95% of that has gone away since I got "buh bump," an electrode cream created by one of the makers of the polar watches.
I consider this watch an essential part of my running wardrobe. It always shows your heart rate, and you can toggle the top level of information including the time, calories, and other features. I follow my heart rate closely because I tend to push myself a bit much, and the beeping is a great reminder to slow down, as annoying as it is. I use all the manual features on it though as the fitness test or whatever it is to find out your minimum and maximum HR is lame.
I work out at 24 hour Fitness, and I was surprised to see that their machines are Polar machines, so I wear my monitor on the treadmills and there's lots of programs that I can use without having to hold the metal part of the machine. And what's cooler than knowing how many calories you burned/have to replace. ;-)
The only thing I wish this watch would have is the ability to store more than one run in the memory (though this was more important to me in the beginning), and that Polar was as good in their GPS line (like Garmin) as they are with the Heart Rate side. But I have to remind myself that the simplicity of running can be the best part, and my watch should reflect that.

Watch works as advertised. I had problems with the first one I order, no problem exchanging. Chest strap is comfortable and easy to activate with just a little water. A good basic monitor
