It is also perfect for people who are looking to lose some weight. Polar is a brand that is usually associated with quality and performance. They have been leaders in the heart monitor industry for awhile now. In fact, they have been around since 1977 when the first EKG monitor came out. Their rise however became more real in the early 90’s when people started to get serious with their fitness. The F4 Polar Heart Rate Watch is a great tool for everyone. From its simple looks to the wonderful features, it is considered as one of the best out there. The following is a short review on the Polar F4.

F4 Overview

This Polar heart rate watch is stacked with so many wonderful features that help take workouts and training to another level. The Polar ZonePointer is a unique and handy function that is exclusive to Polar Heart Monitors. It shows target heart zones through an audible and even visual feature. This helps in the safety aspect of training by showing the user if they are overworking themselves. Polar OwnCal is the other handy and exclusive feature that displays the amount of energy the user has used up in a session. It also helps anyone set targets for workouts whether they are daily or weekly goals. This can take the guess work out of your training.

More Features

The Polar F4 Heart Monitor has so much more. It also doubles as an everyday watch in that it comes with a twenty-four hour clock with a day and date display. It has a stop watch and is water resistant down to thirty meters or one hundred feet. The average life of the battery is one year and like most other Polar Heart Monitors, it comes with a two year warranty.

Cons and Final Assessment

There are only a couple of problems with this Polar Heart Rate Watch. The chest strap for the F4 sometimes has trouble connecting with the monitor. The signal quality has been poor on some. The other problem is hardware and more particularly how sun tan lotion affects it. There have been some cases where this has happened.

All in all, The F4 Polar Heart Rate Watch is one of the better Polar Heart Monitors out there and will be for some time. The average rating of this monitor according to users on Amazon.com has been four out of five. This says a lot about its quality and performance.
