Editorial Reviews:

An ideal workout companion, Polar's B3 wireless heart rate monitor will guide you through your aerobic training program with accuracy while challenging you to the next level. Featuring a Zone Pointer, this heart rate monitor watch provides a visual display which allows you to track your heart rate when you are within your target zone. The B3 also allows you to manually set target zones and it will beep to let you when you are not in your zone. Fitness bullets display every 10 minutes you exercise within your target zone while an exercise timer tracks your total exercise time (which will be stored in a file on the monitor). This feature allows you to view your previous workout information to help establish goals for your next workout and entire program.

About Polar
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.

Summary: Good basic heart rate monitor
Comment: I purchased this heart rate monitor for spinning classes as the instructor wanted his student to keep close track of their heart rate. The Polar B3 does the basic stuff (watch, stop watch and heart rate monitor) and am quite pleased. The only negative is the battery of the watch went dead after about 18 months of using it in 1-2 spinning classes per week. Polar wants you to send the watch in for battery replacement for around $13 + shipping, but my local watch repair shop did it for $7. I have not had to replace the battery in the chest band transmitter, which I read gives you about 2500 hours of use.

Summary: Excellent way to get an efficient workout
Comment: I have used the Polar brand heart rate monitor for at least 10 years. This is only my third replacement. The first time the strap failed to read. The second time the watch died. I still think it is well worth the investment to make sure you are working in your zone. This model stores your average heart rate so you can go home, recall & record it. This model you do have to enter your ranges manually whereas a previous model I had, I could enter my date of birth & it would automatically figure that for me, however I could not find that model anymore.
