Polar Fs1 Heart Rate Monitor

Over the pass years heart rate monitor technologies have consistently amazed us with their new innovations. Some monitors do everything you could ever ask a monitor to do, from tracking your calories for you to telling you when you are in your target heart zone. However, there is a downside to all these cool advances. The advances could take away from the workout for those of us who are not the most tech savvy.  

Quite often people will be flooded with information and have difficulty finding the simple feature of tracking their heart rates. So ultimate all they need is a solid and reliable instrument that display in a simple way what their heart rate is. 

That is why the Polar FS1 is so popular. It is a very basic product, aimed at those who need a heart monitor and not much else. But because it is made by Polar - by far the biggest name in heart rate monitors - it also comes with a reputation for reliability.

In fact, it does do more than just measure your heart beat - thanks to a comfortable chest strap - and display it. The device can be programmed with your target zone - the minimum and maximum heart beat you want to achieve during your work-out - and an alarm sounds when you fall outside your zone.

It tells you the time, the duration of your work-out and your average heart rate during your exercise time. It also has a stopwatch function.

In addition, the device has a very fashionable design, and it features a large display with extra-large numbers that are easy to read.

The only drawback - heart rate monitors are now so common that you can probably find similar functions at a cheaper price. But if durability and reliability are important, then you will almost certainly not be disappointed with the Polar.
