This was the first HRM I owned, and it is perfect for beginners. Everything is very simple to understand, and set up. The unit is attractive looking, and highly accurate (you can see your HR rise the moment you start moving), with enough real features to keep you motivated, and actually put it to good use either in the gym or on the road.
One thing I've since discovered, is that Polar HRM's are much easier to use than some other models (check a few manuals online to see for yourself). The F4 is very simple: simply enter some initial data (age, sex, weight), and then put the strap on (wet the reverse with some tap water) and you're ready. Click the start button. The unit has useful exercise views (duration, time in zone, calories, avg heart rate, max heart rate) which you can cycle through with a button press as you work out. Once finished, you view an exercise summary screen, which displays all this information. The data is then added to a totals file (which can be reset at will -- ie: at the end of the week).
All in all, this is perfect for a beginner. It does enough for it to be useful for a couple of years, before you will want to move onto something more complicated. Don't spend £150+ on a HRM first time; try something like this and make sure you need extra features. This worked like a dream for me, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a simple (but effective) heart rate monitor.Get more detail about Polar F4 Women's Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Red Berry).
