I switched from a Garmin FR60 (in the morning) to a Polar F7 (by afternoon)and saved $5(Read my Garmin review "Garmin to Polar). I didn't want a Polar because of having to send it in to Polar to replace the battery, but after talking to a store that specializes in running, they suggested bringing into a good watch store to replace the battery and represurize or reseal it and it should be fine (this put me at ease). I did do that for my wife's Polar and it has been working fine. Sat in the locker room for about 5 minutes to set it up with no problems. Probably could have done it without the manual. Did review manual afterwards to better understand some of the features. Thought it was slightly easier to set up than the garmin and the buttons on the polar had better sensitivity. The manual was pretty good except onhow to get to the "Daily File" feature. I just happened to come across it by hitting the buttons and I actually wrote down in the manual better instructions on how to get to the "Daily File". Now that I found this feature, hopefully I can use [...]. I really like the "In Zone" feature. Definately nice features for the average athlete and the more advanced. The alarm feature is nice.
Con:
Volume level. I set it to #2 (the loudest) but it is still hard to hear. I kept looking at my watch.
Pro:
Everything mentioned above. Per the sales rep, this watch has a feature that prevents it from being affected by other hear rate monitors next to me. Nice to wear just as a watch.Get more detail about Polar F7 Men's Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Blue).
