Leo is getting so serious about his exercising he bought the Polar F6 Heart Rate Monitor watch. I don’t know much this watch, so here’s info from Leo and from the web. First a word from Polar: “For effective training, depending on your body’s daily condition, you might benefit from either a low or high intensity training session. This monitor checks your daily condition, and guides you to a suitable intensity. If you want to be sure that you are training at the right intensity, this is the right product for you. Get guidance for optimal training intensity based on your daily condition See how many calories you have burned, get interference-free data with coded heart rate transmission.” Leo likes the fact it can be connected to one of his many computers. He can edit wrist unit settings with the Polar UpLink Tool and transfer them to his his F6. And here’s why Leo thinks it’s a good choice at the gym. The F6's coded transmission prevents crosstalk with other monitors like in a class workout. And Leo like the Zone Pointer. It’s s a visible and audible feature on the display of your heart rate monitor showing your target heart rate zone and where your current heart rate is within that zone. The Fitness Bullets feature shows a bullet on the monitor's display for every 10 minutes spent exercising/training in your target heart rate zone. It calculates the amount of total exercise time spent in your personal target zone. But there’s more! Other features include: 24-hour clock with day/week indicator and stopwatch, large easy-to-read display with split screen, and even water resistant to 30 meters (100 feet). List is $120, but if you search you can find it for under $100.
