    Comments about Polar FT60 Heart Rate Monitor - Women's:

    I have only had it a few days, but I am so glad that I waited to buy this watch. I was going to buy the running polar 200sd, but decided to wait and then this just came out. It combines all of the fitness watch details plus you can add speed/distance with the G1 sensor. My sG1 is on backorder, but should arrive anytime. As far as the watch, it is comfortable, although a bit big on my wrist. It is easy to change/adjust settings, turn on/off timers, etc. I love that it gives me a goal for the week based on what my goals are (currently weight loss -- so it is telling me I have to spend 5 1/2 hours on cardio during the week). It tells me what type of progress my workout gave me and what I need to improve on if needed. AWESOME and well worth the price. I am glad I waited for this watch!

    Service and delivery comments:

    Watch was delivered to store promptly (for free) and i am waiting on the g1 sensor. That should be in by early next week. We love REI!

    I have had a difficult time staying motivated, but since I got the FT60 for christmas it has been easy to keep up my routine. Not only does it keep me working out smarter not harder it also tracks my workout. This makes it easier to maintain my goals.

      Comments about Polar FT60 Heart Rate Monitor - Women's:

      This truly is the best fitness tool I have invested in. It took me a awhile to purchase it because of price, but it's worth every penny. This watch is perfect for individuals who want to challenge themselves by tracking their weight or fitness level. I bought the footpod finally and this added accessory just made this watch even more versatile. The footpod is pretty accurate right out of the box. I have yet to calibrate it; I can only imagine with calibration the mileage should be on point.

      As for the watch face, it’s very stylish in my mind. It’s casual but can be worn at work I think.

      Comments about Polar FT60 Heart Rate Monitor - Women's:

      Overall this is a great fitness watch that is very useful in tracking excersise effectiveness. It is easy to use and gives great information. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is an annoying glitch that apparently some of the watches have that causes them to tell you you have reached 999% of your target time in each heart rate zone and you can't erase that. You have to send it in to Polar to have it fixed which takes like 2 weeks. I am frustrated that Polar hasn't fixed this glitch as I am pretty sure my watch is new and wasn't sitting on a shelf since it was backordered from REI. You would think they would update the software in all the watches before selling them but I guess not. You lose all your previously saved workouts when that happens, so I would save them to your computer daily until you are sure it doesn't have that glitch - it seems to manifest itself two to three weeks after starting to use it. Besides that very annoying glitch it is a very useful watch that can do a lot and I would buy it again.

      Comments about Polar FT60 Heart Rate Monitor - Women's:

      I'm still learning how to use this thing, but I was disappointed to discover that there is no stopwatch or countdown timer (disregard the REI list of features) included. It seems that those are standard features that a fitness watch would have. I do a lot of circuits and timed pieces, and it's no good for those at all.

      I'm told that the Polar watches will link up to the exercise machines in the gym, which would be a cool thing. It's also suppose to be able to decipher between its own transmitter and a nearby transmitter on another person.

      As a heart rate monitor, it's great. As an all around fitness tool, I'm less than impressed.

      REI response:This item does have a timer function that you can use to time your workout, but we agree that it’s not a standard stopwatch feature. Thank you for pointing this out. We’ve updated our product description with this change.
