I love this watch, I wear it everyday, great for my workouts, BUT the watchband in pale pink attracts dirt like a magnet.....I wash it but in less than a year I've had to replace the band....a real pain to get the replacement also. I wouldn't have bought pink but it was sold as a promotion to fund breast cancer research in October.

The Polar f6 is easy to use, and the strap fits comfortably around your chest, I just got mine this week and so far there's no interference problems with the transmitter. All the features seem to be accurate and reliable. Therefore i see no reason not to recommend this product. Don't bother with the negative comments, I assure you it's a good deal.

I've had this watch for about a month now, and I use it 3-4 times per week. This is my first heart rate monitor, and I wanted one that would just give me a better calculation of my calorie burn and time in target heart rate zone. This product does both of those very well. I haven't had any problems getting the monitor to read my heart rate. When I read some of the other reviews, I was a little worried about not being able to replace the battery on the chest strap. Now, I don't really see that as a big problem. By the time the battery goes out, I'll probably be ready to "step up" to a better model with more features. I was pleasantly surprised that I can upload my workout information to the polar Web site. Their site is pretty basic, but it helps you keep track of your weekly and monthly progress. The documentation that came with the product could have been better, but, between the insert and the web site, I figured it out. Bottom line: Seems like a very good entry heart rate monitor.
