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.

 Simple and Effective November 7, 2008

I used to own a Polar heart rate monitor about 13 yrs ago and it aided with my training in that it helps with controlling intensity. By controlling and monitoring the intensity, one can prevent overtraining and injuries. Overtraining is probably the most pervasive and least noticed reason for an exercise regimen to go sideways. The FS3 I bought last week (for $60.00) kept me from going overboard in my effort. It connected (via wireless link) to all the cardio machines I exercised on. Actually, I didn't even need the FS3 watch because all the cardio machines (Stairmaster, treadmill, and stationary bike) were able to receive the transmitted data from the chest strap (it picks up the heart beat electrical pulses and transmits that as a beats-per-minute reading to the watch). Setting up the watch (enter your age for auto calculation or manually enter data for heart rate limits) was very easy; only one button to push and the watch handles the rest. Great buy!

This heart rate monitor comes with a 30+ page instruction book! I read it and set it up two months ago and used it for a week while walking on a treadmill. It provides much better readings than my monitor on the treadmill. I then set it aside while on a trip and came back to it a few weeks later. I inadvertently hit the wrong button (only one button) and got into different menus and submenus and got lost. I have not gotten the book out to reset it all. I would like a product that I do not have to read and reread so much. Can you put a nice flow chart of steps for stepup or a organization chart with submenus and subsubmenus so that one doesn't have to read and reread the instruction book to use it.
Excellent Heart Monitor September 1, 2008

I purchased the Polar FS3 heart rate monitor because of the reputation of the brand Polar. The transaction was smooth and arrived in the amount of time promised. I have used the Polar monitor during each spin class and have found it to be excellent. It will record one workout but if you want it for the heart monitor, this is the one for a reasonable price. A++

This gives an accurate reading and the backlight is adequate. It is a little low on frills but I do not need it to do much more.

Love it!! Too bad that black was the only color. I've seen these watches in Yellow, and they are so unique. I've been wearing this watch everywhere (not only during exercise days). Recommend it highly.
