Amazon.com Product Description
Packed with a number of innovative training features to help you toward your exercise goals, the Polar F7 heart rate monitor watch is stylish and ultra-reliable. The F7's most important function is to check your body's daily condition and guide you to a suitably intense workout, as people benefit from different workouts on different days. However, that's certainly not the watch's only major function. The F7 also includes a Zone Pointer, a visible and audible feature on the display of your heart rate monitor that shows your target heart rate zone and where your current heart rate sits within that zone. The Polar Own Cal function, meanwhile, tracks your energy expenditure during a single exercise session as well as your accumulated kilocalories throughout the week. As you progress, you can set daily and weekly exercise goals in terms of calorie expenditure, helping you achieve both short- and long-term goals.

The company also included two other Polar-exclusive features: OwnZone, which guides you through an appropriate warm-up routine and automatically determines a safe and effective exercise heart rate zone; and OwnCode, a technology that blocks unwanted crosstalk signals from other heart rate monitors nearby, ensuring your heart rate data is transmitted clearly. The latter feature is particularly helpful when exercising with other people, such as in aerobic or spinning classes.

The F7 offers most of the traditional fitness watch functions as well, including measuring your heart rate in both bpm and as a percentage of your maximum heart rate, gauging your average heart rate, calculating the number of kilocalories you've expended over several exercise sessions, tracking your cumulative training time during a week, and determining your total time in your target zone. Plus, you can use the built-in Fitness Exercise Diary to track the rest of your weekly training progress. The diary function monitors the weekly frequency, total time, total training count, and amount of calories burned during each training session. It also displays the intensities of your weekly workout sessions.

Other details include a Fitness Bullets feature that shows a bullet on the monitor's display for every 10 minutes you spend exercising/training in your target heart rate zone; SonicLink and UpLink ports, which let you upload exercise settings to your PC or Polar's web service and edit wrist unit settings respectively; HeartTouch button-free operation; a 24-hour clock with a day/week indicator; visual and audible target zone alarms; and a low battery indicator. Water-resistant to 50 feet, the Polar F7 carries a two-year warranty.

Before you spend you hard earned money it is nice to see what owners of the Polar f7 women's heart rate monitor watch silver think.

This is another great Polar monitor. This is the 3rd or 4th Polar I have had. It has great features, primarily it let's you input your informtion such as gender (which makes a difference), weight, height and age, and it calculates your calories burned and target heart rate. I would not work out without a heart rate monitor and this one gives you the info you need without too much complexity and at a great price. What more can you ask for? The only negative is that the instruction booklet is not the most intuitive, and some of the instructions are hard to remember. But overall a really good buy.

This has really helped me get my workouts where they need to be! I love knowing when I'm in my zone, and am thrilled at how easy this monitor has been to use - I'm not as much of a "techie" as I'd like to be =) I definitely would recommend this product to anyone interested in getting fit!

I bought the Polar F7 a couple months ago and so far it does everything I bought it for with zero problems. The watch is easy to operate and program. I've even worn the heart rate monitor swimming and it functions fine (just be sure not to press buttons on your watch while under water. I imagine that would damage the watch). It's only been a couple months, but I'll update any change.

Polar invented the first EKG accurate wireless heart rate monitor 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 '80s. By the 1990s, individuals were looking to heart rate monitors not only for performance training needs, but also for achieving everyday fitness goals. Today, heart rate training is employed by world-class athletes as well as everyday people trying to lose weight, and Polar is the leading heart rate monitor brand among consumers, coaches, and personal trainers worldwide. 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.
