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.

 Has useful features over the Polar FS1 November 8, 2006
Duke (near Albany, NY)

"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.
Simple But Does The Job With Style July 22, 2006

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.
Easy to use heart rate monitor December 11, 2007

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.
Excellent Heart Monitor September 1, 2008

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.

I used to own a Polar heart rate monitor about 13 yrs ago and it aided with my training in that it helps with controlling intensity. By controlling and monitoring the intensity, one can prevent overtraining and injuries. Overtraining is probably the most pervasive and least noticed reason for an exercise regimen to go sideways. The FS3 I bought last week (for $60.00) kept me from going overboard in my effort. It connected (via wireless link) to all the cardio machines I exercised on. Actually, I didn't even need the FS3 watch because all the cardio machines (Stairmaster, treadmill, and stationary bike) were able to receive the transmitted data from the chest strap (it picks up the heart beat electrical pulses and transmits that as a beats-per-minute reading to the watch). Setting up the watch (enter your age for auto calculation or manually enter data for heart rate limits) was very easy; only one button to push and the watch handles the rest. Great buy!
