Great.
I downgraded from a top of the range athletes polar to this because I wanted a watch that didnt look huge on my wrist but had the basic functions of own cal etc. to judge workout pace and performance. Perfect choice. Very happy with the product.

Very good for the gym!
I have only used this a couple of times, but I really like it so far. Its very easy to use, and it does exactly what I want it to: tell me my heart rate and the number of calories I have burned. It can also do heart rate target zones and provide summary information, and works as a watch and alarm clock, too. It is small and dainty, and works really well in the gym since the heart rate monitor chest strap is coded. I recommend it to anyone wanting an easy to use, affordable heart rate monitor. Watching the calories go up and up is really motivating. :-)

Good product
This is the first heart rate monitor I have bought and am pleased to say that it is very easy to use. You have the option to display your heart rate in beats per minute or % of your maximum training rate, I have turned the sound off as personally the constant beeping each time you drop out the zone was driving me mad. The only problem I have found is that it does not seem to link in with the life fitness machines at my gym but Im not sure if the problem is with something I am doing wrong. Overall a good buy.

Perfect first HRM
This was the first HRM I owned, and it is perfect for beginners. Everything is very simple to understand, and set up. The unit is attractive looking, and highly accurate (you can see your HR rise the moment you start moving), with enough real features to keep you motivated, and actually put it to good use either in the gym or on the road.
One thing Ive since discovered, is that Polar HRMs are much easier to use than some other models (check a few manuals online to see for yourself). The F4 is very simple: simply enter some initial data (age, sex, weight), and then put the strap on (wet the reverse with some tap water) and youre ready. Click the start button. The unit has useful exercise views (duration, time in zone, calories, avg heart rate, max heart rate) which you can cycle through with a button press as you work out. Once finished, you view an exercise summary screen, which displays all this information. The data is then added to a totals file (which can be reset at will -- ie: at the end of the week).
All in all, this is perfect for a beginner. It does enough for it to be useful for a couple of years, before you will want to move onto something more complicated. Dont spend £150+ on a HRM first time; try something like this and make sure you need extra features. This worked like a dream for me, and Id recommend it to anyone looking for a simple (but effective) heart rate monitor.
