About Polar
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.

4 out of 5 stars Good basic heart rate monitor   June 13, 2008
I purchased this heart rate monitor for spinning classes as the instructor wanted his student to keep close track of their heart rate. The Polar B3 does the basic stuff (watch, stop watch and heart rate monitor) and am quite pleased. The only negative is the battery of the watch went dead after about 18 months of using it in 1-2 spinning classes per week. Polar wants you to send the watch in for battery replacement for around $13 + shipping, but my local watch repair shop did it for $7. I have not had to replace the battery in the chest band transmitter, which I read gives you about 2500 hours of use.


4 out of 5 stars Excellent way to get an efficient workout   December 27, 2007
I have used the Polar brand heart rate monitor for at least 10 years. This is only my third replacement. The first time the strap failed to read. The second time the watch died. I still think it is well worth the investment to make sure you are working in your zone. This model stores your average heart rate so you can go home, recall & record it. This model you do have to enter your ranges manually whereas a previous model I had, I could enter my date of birth & it would automatically figure that for me, however I could not find that model anymore.


2 out of 5 stars Product not received but charged to my credit card.   December 8, 2007
I didn't receive the product. I received a notification via e-mail explaining that there was a mistake in the address, however, there is a charge to my credit card. Please help me to reverse the transaction.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent heart monitor   April 23, 2007
This baby does the job. It motivates me in my workouts because I know that I am working out within my optimum range.


5 out of 5 stars just enough gadgets   March 12, 2007
Excellent basic monitor with heart rate range and available capacity to record and file workouts.
