"This model is a good compromise between features and price if you want the Polar name brand. If you're just starting out and need a good HRM, look at a Sigma."jpryor

(5)

Ease of installation

Easy to setup, comfortable to wear.

(4)

Ease of use

The menus are intuitive.

(4)

Quality of Construction

As good of quality as any high-end HRM.

(5)

Fit

The chest strap stays in place and is very adjustable.

(4)

Value

Polar is one of the most feature laden HRM manufacturers. They cram a lot of stuff into a unit. However, their prices reflect that.

Customer Service

Do not expect your LBS to offer any help if you have problems with your unit. Polar has TERRIBLE customer support. This is their primary weakness.

Strengths

Tons of features. Very reliable. When in tip top condition, this unit provides a ton of capability.

Weakness

Very pricey! Similar competitors (Sigma) can produce HRMs with similar quality at less than half the price. Polar's customer service is an example to every business how not to treat customers and distributors.
