Cons
Main issue is that the monitor freezes sudenly in the middle of your workout. All previous and current data and workout information is lost. Shipped with a dead battery.
Highlights
Quality
This product works great and does everything that i need it to do
Overall i would still recommend this product
For my purposes i would much rather the batteries be replaceable locally but thats a complaint about polar not about the product
It seems i only get passionate enough about a product when the product well and truly sucks
Price
Itll be my best choice at this price
Shipping
I tend to buy new ones every couple of years rather than going through the hassle of shipping it back to have the batteries replaced
Competitiveness
Accurate and i also noted that exercise equipment will pick up the transmitter and report out on excersize machines with heart rate info
I use if for training and for running 10k races
