Great product, data storing feature not terribly useful

Polar F11 Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Grey Pepper)

I've been using this for a few weeks. The accuracy of the heart rate and calorie measurements is fabulous. Also, I've never had a problem getting a reading at all. This product just plain works.

The data feature it comes with isn't terribly useful, though. For instance, the only data that it is capable of saving from a workout is time of workout, max heart rate, calories burned, and average heart rate. It does not save your heart rate at every moment during the workout then graph it out.

The OwnIndex feature, which tests your cardio fitness level while you lie down, is kind of neat, but I think most people getting one of these already have a pretty good idea of their cardio fitness level. It's fun nonetheless.

Great Weight for loss.

I bought this hrm a month ago and have lost 9lbs. I purchased just to see how many calories I was burning during my work outs. I found with the calorie counter it motivates me to work harder and longer than before. The only thing I would change is I wish it would be able to track distance. At first I couldn't get the watch to upload to the website. After a few days I realized that if you were signed in to the website the upload works. Otherwise I got nothing. Awesome HRM! The chest strap is adjustable and fairly comfortable too!

Great Heart Rate Monitor!

You don't need a degree in engineering to use this HRM. The Polar F11 is very easy to set up. It has very useful programs and a readable display. It provides helpful information. Good investment at a far price for the average athlete!

Awesome watch, download method hard to get use to

I have had this HRM for almost 2 years. I am a huge fan of training with heart rate. I am a spinning instructor and former semi pro triathelete.

I have used a few different brands throughout the years, I always find my way back to Polar for a few different reasons that hopefully I can outline in this review.

First before I start this review, I must say - I also own the new Polar FT80 and if you can afford the extra few bucks jump up and get the new one. Much better.

I decided to write this review after I had to retire the F11. So this is a tribute to my best bud for the past 2 years.

I LOVE:
keeps you fit program. Pretty cool, when I first looked at the feature I thought i would never use it due to the fact that I am sort of experienced. But it just makes things so much easier, and actually gives you pretty good guidance for cardio.

I love the chest strap. Very comfy. I also bought an Adidas shirt that has the strap built into it and use just the transmitter with the shirt. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT.

I love Polar. Yes, they have always treated me great. Their customer service and technical support are in my opinion the best in this industry. They have kept me a fan.

I DISLIKE - how it downloads. Well I never really hated it until I used the new FT80 with the flowlink. SO MUCH BETTER. but once you get use to the old soniclink it works well with the F11. I had to be so quiet and prop up my microphone at the perfect angle. I developed a skill with that thing! a pain sometimes but oh well. That is how I got to know their technical guys so well:) And they know me well also:) Sorry guys, and thanks for the christmas card last year(im serious) haha

I would buy the F11 again, my best friend will now sit in my drawer as a back up. Hope the new FT80 treats me like the F11 did!

I lost 60 pounds by the way!!!

Hope this review helps other people. Hell this may be a life changing purchase for you as it was for me. good luck with your weight loss and fitness!

First Heart Rate Monitor

This was my first heart rate monitor and I love it. I gave it 5 stars based on the following:

1) Easy to use - I turned it on, took less than 5 minutes to set it up, and started using it. It is extremely easy to navigate.
2) Features - The programs are easy to set up and follow. The heart rate section shows you the time you've worked out in each of your heart rate zones and you can set alarms to warn you when your out of the zones. You can also download your training sessions to their online program.
3) Programs actually help - I took the fitness test, created a program and have been following it for about 3 months and have lost 25 pounds. Working in the heart zones, I decreased my 5k time from 35 to 23 minutes and my 10k time from 75 to 52 minutes.
3) Online resources - I've downloaded my workouts on to the online training site and can easily see my improvement over time as well as track my running mileage. I was using the Runner's World site before but like this one better.
4) Comfort - The chest strap is very comfortable. I tried the Garmin 305 band and another Polar one but this band was by far the most comfortable. The watch is no bigger than most other watches.
5) Compatability - I do most of my exercises on the treadmills at the gym and the watch transmitter is compatable with all the equipment except one type of treadmill. As long as the equipment is Polar compatable, you can see your heart rate on the machine as well as the watch.

The one thing that I wish was different is the ability to download training programs from the website to the watch. The online tracker allows you to create more customized programs but unless you manually recreate the program on your watch, you can't get the online programs onto it.

All in all though I love the watch and would definitely buy it again.
