Amazon.com Product Description In order to reach your fitness goals, you need to exercise at the right intensity. The Polar RS100 wrist heart rate monitor helps you to easily and accurately measure your heart rate to help you get to just the right intensity or your exertion level. This basic HRM features added stopwatch and time-of-day watch features as well as extra-large digits for easy readability. The Time in Target Zone feature calculates the amount of total exercise time spent in your personal target zone. You can use this feature together with the Total Exercise Time to determine the effectiveness of your exercise program.
The RS100 displays heart rate as beats per minute (beats per minute) and as a percentage of the maximum heart rate. The Target Zone feature can be set manually or automatically (for age/weight), and the RS100 provides visual and auditory alarms when you've moved away from the zone. Other features include dual time zone, alarm with snooze, and water resistance to 50 meters.
It's a great choice for using in large groups, where other exercisers might be using wireless training gear that could interfere with your own signal. The RS100's coded transmission prevents crosstalk with other monitors so you'll get a personalized workout--even in a class environment. It also includes the following exclusive Polar features:
Polar OwnCal: This feature shows your energy expenditure during one exercise session as well as your accumulated kilocalories during several exercise sessions. You can set daily and weekly exercise goals in terms of calorie expenditure with the OwnCal feature. Because the OwnCal tracks both the energy expenditure during one exercise session and the accumulated kilocalories during a longer time e.g. one week, it helps in achieving both short term and long term goals.
Polar OwnZone: This feature guides you through an appropriate warm-up routine and automatically determines a safe and effective exercise heart rate zone--your OwnZone--while taking into account your current physical condition.

About Polar The first EKG accurate wireless heart rate monitor was invented by Polar back in 1977 as a training tool for the Finnish National Cross Country Ski Team. The concept of "intensity training" by heart rate swept the athletic world in the eighties. By the 1990s, individuals were looking to heart rate monitors not only for performance training needs, but also for achieving everyday fitness goals. Today, the same concept of heart rate training is being used by world-class athletes as well as everyday people trying to lose weight. Polar is the leading brand among consumers, coaches, and personal trainers worldwide and the company is committed to not only producing the best products, but also being the leading educator on the benefits of heart rate based exercise.
Good even for a newbyFebruary 3, 2010 T. Thompson This is my first heart rate monitor. Bought it after comparing reviews, and I'm not disapointed. It is easy enough to figure out, and the instruction manual helps you get there quickly with good illustrations and descriptions, and a layout that helps you find what you're looking for. I've used it while doing ligher weight supersets as a fatburning/toning exersize, to keep my heartrate within the zone. It is simple enough to use that I was able to read a few targeted pages in the manual, fiddle with it for about 5min, then go get started. So far I have not had any problems with the watch losing contact, except for the first trial-run when I didn't put any moisture on the electrodes in the band.
Great Polar RS100 heart rate monitorJanuary 14, 2010 Luis Felipe Gonzalez Diaz(Planet Earth) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm very please with this purchase since I get lots of functions and utility's. I replace my old Polar FS3 Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Dark Grey) with this model and is like comparing a Ferrari with a Fiat. Basic functionality is there but this have a lot of goodies like calorie count, laps, stopwatch, and heart rate monitor, plus the new wearlink T31 coded transmitter which is more comfortable than the older models. Overall a heart rate monitor is key if you serious about getting fit and this is a great option.
My First Heart Rate MonitorJanuary 3, 2010 SoCal Triathlete 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is the first heart rate monitor I've ever purchased and it's extremely easy to use. All of the buttons are in the right places when you're running and the strap is pretty comfortable. Recommend this for anyone who cycles and runs like myself. The display is big enough to see if you want to glance at it quick on the run and the backlight works great for running at night.
Review Polar RS100November 18, 2009 Martin Fisher(Houston) Very practical and good relationship between quality/price of the product. Relatively easy to use and hasall the functions I need for monitoring my weekly jogging performance
Super productNovember 14, 2009 D. Beldon(St Louis) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I had never used a heart rate monitor before and now I wont run without it. The feedback I get on run is great and helps me challenge myself towards the end of my run. The buttons on it are very intuitive. Very easy to start, get the lap splits, see you total time, lap time, number of laps, and see what time it is. This is a very good choice for a watch and heart rate monitor.
