Polar Heart Rate Watch Review: Polar F7

Have you ever trained so hard yet reaped so little? Have you ever spent long hours working out yet progress was slow? Well you are not alone. Too many people go through the same intensive workouts and training to only find that progress in areas such as weight loss, fitness and strength and conditioning are way too slow. One of the underlying factors for such results is the fact that your workouts may be unproductive. You may be either over working or not doing enough to warrant progress. This is where a heart rate watch comes into the equation. It is able to give the user readings of their aerobic heart rate and show if they are working to the right intensities or not.

One of the top brands in the heart rate monitor market is Polar. Polar has been around for over thirty years. They were the first to introduce an EKG Monitor in 1977. When the early 90’s rolled in, you had health and fitness enthusiasts from all over chasing after their heart monitors. Over the years, through careful research and development, they have come up with best sellers such as the Polar F11 and Polar Rs800 monitors. Competition also has become stiffer in the industry with brands such as Garmin and Nike with their Forerunner and Triax lines. To stay a step ahead of the pack, Polar has created a heart rate monitor watch that is sure to keep them in front. This is the Polar F7 heart rate watch.

Features and Functions

One of the major advantages of having the Polar F7 is that you will be able to keep the right intensities during your workouts. Without the Polar F7 you could over work yourself and stop your session before progress starts to happen. It is the perfect accessory for those who like to jog and even others who prefer to carry out their workouts in the gym. The Polar F7 is able to assess your daily condition, age and fitness level to guide you through a workout routine. This Polar heart rate watch has the ability to display heart rate in several ways. It is able to show heart rate in percentages of maximum beats, real time beats every minute and in a graphical target indicator zone.

This heart rate watch also has visual and audio alarms that warn the user if or when they have fallen out of their target heart zones. This feature is called the Polar ZonePointer. Another handy feature on the Polar F7 is the OwnCal Mode which is able to track the calories and energy burnt up during workouts. This heart rate watch also has the ability to set daily and weekly target goals for the user to follow. With this also comes feedback. The Polar OwnCode is another feature that cancels out interference from other wireless devices and heart rate monitors that could affect training data on it.
