Hype on Polar F11???

[naughtoj]

Ok.......what does this HRM do that is so special? And, is what it does worth the price?

Does the watch do anything for me that I can't do myself? Just wondering if I should add it to my X-mas list!!}(


Y'all that have it.........didn't you already have another HRM. So far, I have the A3 and M32. I feel really guilty now wanting the F11. What will they come up with next!!!????

Convince me or talk me out of it! LOL

I love my F11!!! I had never had a HRM before - so I can't compare to other HRMs and say whether it's better or not. I just know that I love it. The Fitness Test and customized workout plans are nice features, although I don't use them nearly as often as I should. I like that it stores something like 10 workout sessions of data, and it gives you weekly summaries (it's pretty impressive to see those total numbers!). I think what's so great about this HRM is how customizable it is. I have had mine since about March, and now I can't imagine working out without it. My husband just bought one for himself too! Is it worth the price tag? Well, that's for you to decide - based on what features you need and don't need.

i originally had an a5.... i like it well enough... but it didn't start counting calories until your HR was above 100.... (i forget what else it did... i remember it did bmi! big whoop! lol!)

i then got a 720i for my bike... however, since it started counding calories at 90... i started using it for workouts too.. plus i could download it to the software on my computer along with my bike rides!

then the f11 came along.... i originally wanted it cuz it's red (i know.. i know!) but then i looked into it.. it does way more than i use.. you can set up planned workouts, etc... but i like that it counts calories from the minute you put it on! (i've actually worn it for a day at work and a day at home just to see what it said! yes.. i'm a GEED!) it has the polar fittest (as does my 720i)... i like that it tells me the percentage of fat burned (based on the polar fittest numbers and my HR during the workout)...

i have to echo that only you can decide if it's worth the money! what i did when looking at buying all three... was to spend time at polar's site with their comparison charts! making sure the watch had the functions i needed and wanted!

cute work out clothes are good for AT LEAST an additional 10-15 calories burned!
