Editor's Review:
In addition to the basic features, the F6 allows you to set three target heart rate ranges (light, moderate, hard), it displays them while you are training, and shows you where you are in relation to those limits.

Since this is a Polar® Heart Rate Monitor, you know it is well made. It provides all the basic features, without getting too complicated or expensive.

The big problem, however, with this monitor, is not when you evaluate it by itself, but when you compare its value to that of other monitors. For example, the Polar RS100 costs about as much, but you get a lot more. Most importantly, you get the ability to record laps and lap HR data with the RS100, but not with the F6. Given that, there is no reason to buy the F6 when the RS100 is available.
