It’s been very good to me
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I’ve has this watch since 2006, I bought mine at modell’s for 50.00 . It’s a great motivator and I love that it sinks with gym equipment.
I use it daily along with the strap and no yellowing, no cracking no problems. I recently learned that I can upload my info on the polar website which will help motivate me more.
Now that I’m fitter I find I would like more features (lost 68 lbs) but I’ll wait til this one dies for good.
I need to replace the battery and Hey 3 yrs same battery is a good thing! I found PLACE IN dallas were they’ll replace the battery so it’s all good!
Loved it….until it BROKE

Love this watch, awesome tool for working out & improving fitness. But the “start” button on the left fell off after 10 days, rendering it useless. I’ve sent it in for a warranty claim, so we’ll see….
Polar seems to need some competition

First, if you buy one of these be aware that it’s extremely easy to accidently wipe out all the personal and cardio info it stores. There isn’t any way to lock this monitor to protect such loss.
I sent this monitor in for repair. They emailed me to tell me they received the monitor. They emailed me to tell me they replaced the circuit board. They had my monitor over a month. I got this monitor back and it works exactly the same as before I sent it in. They did nothing to it. Yes I know how to read and I always read the manuals for everything I buy. This monitor does not display the time when brought to the transmitter belt like it say’s it will in the manual. There isn’t any way for me to have this display the time while it is monitoring.
Update. It takes Polar apr. 4 days to reply to an email sent to them. The last email they sent me was to inform me that the F4 instruction manual is for the European market and it needs a coded transmitter in order to check the time of day while it’s monitoring the heart. It was either pay $45 for a coded transmitter or follow their suggestion and upgrade to the F6 which I ended up doing but would have preferred not to. I just need something to monitor my heart and tell me what time it is. To upgrade I called their customer service and waited on the line for over 15 minutes. Note, if you upgrade they will only credit you with 30% of the F4 price. They have terrible customer support. And to put the icing on the cake they didn’t even spell my first name right or include my apartment number on the package with the F6.
Stops working accurately

I’ve owned two of these watches and both of them stopped reading my heart rate accurately within a few months of daily use. While running it will start out giving an accurate reading, then start jumping around, giving me an impossibly high (151 at a slow jog) or low reading (71 while running uphill) or it will jump from an extremely low to an extremely high heart rate (51 to 160) in a second, a virtually impossible reading. It’s maddening. For some reason, I do not have this problem while working out indoors at the gym. Only when running outside. It’s too bad because it’s easy to use. But what’s the point of a heart rate monitor that reads everything but your heart rate.
