Ltd review of this monitor: Polar RS100 Heart Rate Monitor - these
new models have been specifically designed with runners needs in mind.
The
Polar RS100 heart rate monitor has a crosstalk prevention system (Polar
OwnCode) to avoid unwanted interference. It features an easy press
lap / split button for recording mile / km / lap times quicky and
easily, without the possibility of pressing the wrong button.
The
Polar RS100 runners computer has a clear 3 line display giving you
what you want to see at a glance, for example, Heart Rate, Lap Time
and Total Time, with a "lap count indicator" in the bottom
corner.
The
Polar RS100 heart rate monitors have 1 x HR training zone to help
you control and sustain your desired intensity.
The
training zone can be set as either bpm (beats per minute) or as a
% of your predicted maximum heart rate.
NEXT MODEL UP ?? Also consider the Polar RS300x + Polar RS300x G1 SD. The RS300x can support the running foot pod or multi sport Polar G1 GPS unit to give speed, pace and distance, the RS100 cannot.
BHIP
Ltd summary. Very good. Excellent value
for money, very easy to use. We are glad Polar have added calories to
a runners watch. Calories is such a good way to measure and compare
effort from one session to the next. We are confident these will be
very popular heart rate monitors
