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.

 Simple But Does The Job With Style July 22, 2006
17 out of 17 found this review helpful
This model doesn't have a lot of features but if you need a simple but reliable HRM this one does the job. It does have a few features, more than the FS-1 which is why I bought it. The more expensive units are bulky looking. This one you could actually wear as a casual watch if you wanted. I've never had a problem with mine and am glad I have it. I bought it to lose weight by exercsing at the right intensity and it is great for that.
Has useful features over the Polar FS1 November 8, 2006

"Heart Link" is a feature in the FS3 that allows for buttonless operation of backlight and display-change by momentarily holding watch unit near chest strap. As I run mostly at night, I'm glad I spent the extra $20 over the Polar FS1 to get this feature.
The watch unit is stylish enough to wear every day. My 52 year old eyes love the LARGE digits. Display is not at all cheesy, and looks a bit euro in motif.
Note that I have rather large wrists. The watch strap just barely fit me using the last notch!
Monitor works like a charm. Accurate and easy-to-use. Try buying at "How to be Fit-dot-com" I received the monitor, shipped free from NM to NY in 1 day. Excellent service with highly recommended product.
Easy to use heart rate monitor December 11, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
A good one to start with if you've never used one before.
Easy to use and easy to read -- even while you're exercising.
Features: watch w/time and day, exercise duration, heart rate (average and max), sets min/max heart rate targets based on your age.
Doesn't count calories or retains your exercise history -- but I didn't need this info.

I've been very satisfied with this watch for the last 4 years as I use it to monitor my HR while working out on the bike both indoor and outdoor. Keeps me from slacking off on my effort. After loseing my watch I ordered another one recently. A very good investment.
Excellent Heart Monitor September 1, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased the Polar FS3 heart rate monitor because of the reputation of the brand Polar. The transaction was smooth and arrived in the amount of time promised. I have used the Polar monitor during each spin class and have found it to be excellent. It will record one workout but if you want it for the heart monitor, this is the one for a reasonable price. A++
