Heart Rate Monitor Reviews

Polar F4 Heart Rate Monitor

Polar is a prominent producer of heart rate monitors, and the F4 – which has been specifically designed for women – has become one of its most popular models.

It is difficult to find objective reviews of heart rate monitors online, although commercial websites like Amazon.com and Epinions.com carry many user reviews.

A good report, Buyer's guide to heart rate monitors, is offered at the Road Cycling UK internet site.

It advises:

Functions you should be looking for are: average heart rate, maximum heart rate, a stopwatch, target zones with or without an alarm, calorie consumption, and possibly computer download ability. You should also be looking at the comfort of the chest strap – this has to be worn next to your skin for hours at a time so make sure it’s comfortable.
