3 out of 5 stars not for spinners   June 5, 2008

I purchased this watch especially for spinning. The watch is very nicely designed and works very well, but there is a disadvantage in it for spinners, as its digits are not big and not bold and it is impossible to see them in a dark room without turning the light on. I had another polar with big dark digits and it was much better in the spinning room. I think this is a thing to consider before buying...


1 out of 5 stars Don't Buy Polar Products - Horrible Customer Service   May 26, 2008

I've had the F11 for several years and it has mostly been dependable. Recently it started behaving erratically. The local sports shop said the battery probably needed to be replaced. However, there is no way to tell if the battery is actually failing. And you cannot change the battery yourself. And it takes POLAR AN AVERAGE OF ONE MONTH TO CHANGE THE BATTERY. That seemed like an outrageously poor design. However, the design is outstanding compared to Polar's customer service.

IT TOOK 7 WEEKS FOR POLAR TO CHANGE MY BATTERY. It would have taken even longer except my local sports shop was willing to spend lots of time on hold every day in an effort to get my HRM back to me. Polar delayed so long with no explanation that finally they agreed to send my HRM express mail. They swore they would mail it via express the next day. Then when the HRM did not arrive the following day, my local store called Polar and they said: "Oops, we didn't mail it." No reason was given. This happened three times during the last week.

Polar seems to be an arrogant company who thinks they don't have to treat customers well because they currently have a corner on the HRM market. Of course Ford and GM used to have a corner on the US auto market but in their arrogance, they forgot to listen to and respond to customers. Over time, customers found better products elsewhere. That's exactly what I plan to do when I buy my next HRM. I will never buy a Polar product again!

DO NOT BUY A POLAR HRM if you need one you can really depend on. The Polar products need to be redesigned so you can tell when the battery is getting low and you can change the battery yourself. Plus the company desperately needs to learn about good customer service and follow through. If you are too busy or impatient to deal with the kind of delays and frustration I've described then do yourself a favor and buy a HRM from someone besides Polar.



5 out of 5 stars I love my PolarF11   May 22, 2008

This is a great tool to keep my workouts on track. The only thing I wish I could change it the strap... For me it's either falling down or too tight, but it's worth the hassle as it's better then some of the others I've tried. I also upload my workout data from the F11 to their website and have documentation when my doctor gives me that look like "Yeah - Right I bet you workout that much"...

I am very impressed with the product. It syncs up online with PolarFitness.com to keep a running total of all exercise sessions, calories burned, distance traveled, etc. on a weekly and monthly basis. It really is a costly alternative to a personal trainer, especially when used with podfitness.com. At the time I purchased this unit they were offering a free 60 day trial to this service. This is a great product.
