Hi Guys,

Was wondering if people could tell me what brand your polar HRM is and how much it cost you. Also if you could tell us what your functions on the polar were. (or are they all the same?)

I'm looking to get myself 1 but need to see what ones are and get the best one at a resonable price.

Thanks

Hi,

I have the Polar F11F - I think it was $240. Keeps a log of Calories burnt, how long you trained for, Records your Max HR, Avg HR, Tells you when to increase or decrease the intensity of the workout.

Good luck on your hunt.

Howdy...

Me again....lol

I think I am going to get the F11. I have been looking on eBay and they seem to be around $100 to $140 then add postage and handling to it. Seems pretty cheap, compared to the shops.

I just hope that it's the real deal....lol!!

Hi there,

One bit of advice, make sure to get the F11F - for females - less bulky on the wrist.  check out www.pursuit-performance.com.au/ for more info.

I have the F11f and love it..though I wouldn't mind a GPS one now so I know exactly how far I have walked without driving my different routes in the car

I don't use half the functions on mine, but it would help if I had time to read all the instruction manual!

I paid $230 for mine from memory. There were a few threads on them I think.

Are you still looking for one?

Thanks for that Jane! I have used that before when Mel(I think?) posted it. It's a great tool !!

Still, I reckon a GPS /HR monitor would be fantastic for all those times I CBA hopping on the puter to find how far I have walked when I have deviated from my usual haunts,like that extra 3 laps around the park, the extra 10 min, I talk my brain into etc.

Will have to have another play with MMR later on!

Hi LaLa,

I've kinda put it off getting one. I'm actually thinking of getting a PT instead. But am going to wait a few more weeks, hopefully my heel will get better.

I'm going to go buy me a IPOD though coz I have been putting that off for ages. I'm getting bored at the gym on the cardio!
