    Comments about Polar RS200sd Speed and Distance Heart Rate Monitor:

    Wow!!! After having the F11 totally fail at 13 months and then the rs200sd fail at 11 months i have said polar is just not worth it. Yes, pound for pound along[...]it is a great watch. Don't expect any of their products to last longer than a year, if you are a regular runner or heavy sweater, you are in for a warranty bail out or S.O.L. Accurate and simple the rs200sd is a great running mate; like many other inventions these days the technology just doesn't add up to the user output. ****get a warranty*****

    Comments about Polar RS200sd Speed and Distance Heart Rate Monitor:

    I have owned this product for about two years now. It has worked flawlessly but does the chest strap does take a little getting used to. You don't even notice the foot-pod and it was extremely accurate straight out of the box. For the money and the features it is one of the best HR/Distance computers out there. Also, the size of it is not as bulky as some of the rest that I had was looking at prior to buying it.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      A good watch that does speed and distance. The footpod is slightly bulky and the battery could last a little longer, other than that it's as accurate as long as you don't cheat on your calibration.

      I dont particularly like the bulky footpod and have since stopped using the watch altogethor. However, I do think its a very accurate watch and great for someone that doesnt want spend too much on a watch like this. The display is also very plain.

      Comments about Polar RS200sd Speed and Distance Heart Rate Monitor:

      I upgraded from a basic Polar HR monitor to the RS200sd three years ago. I had no problems in the first 6 months. Then during on of my races, the display went black. After the race, I reset it and as a result lost all of my data, including workout stats. After replacing both batteries, it reports an accurate HR about 50% of the time. It's nice to have a Polar HR because most treadmills can pick up the signal, but I would be hesitant on buying this model again.

          Comments about Polar RS200sd Speed and Distance Heart Rate Monitor:

          This HRM lived up to my expectations. The footpod is a bit bulky, but I don't notice it when I run. The watch battery just died after 2 years of very regular use, and I've had to replace the chest strap battery once. The footpod one seems to die every 4-6 months or so, but they're cheap enough to replace. Otherwise, the display is easy to read on the run, it seems to be very accurate, and it's a great product for the money. I've run many 5ks and several half marathons with this HRM/footpod combo, and have no complaints!
