Mens HRM??

LiveLife73

Does this even exist... any fellas that own a Polar brand HRM. I would appreciate your help. Can't seem to find out which model is for men or is it because they're for men and women... thanks.

HRMs are unisex - we all have the same blood pumping organ and its located in the same place in us all! ) Just make sure its supplied with a strap that is big enough to fit around your chest!

My one is for MEN!! lol But it adjusts and fits fine. I think the only difference is the watch face is bigger on a mans (which I prefer). It still asked me if I was male or female when I set it up :bigsmile:

good luck :flowerforyou:

Ah! If you're talking about the watch version, my advice from a professional view point is don't waste your money! Get a proper HRM with a chest strap which sits over the heart - those that fit to the wrist aren't as accurate and can be irritating when you're trying to train. A simple HRM should cost no more then £25 and will include a unit which displays the results (ECG gel will also only cost a couple of £ - this is used to ensure there is a strong electrical connection between the heart and monitor)

I'm referring to the one with the chest strap...I went to purchase one and the watch would fit a lil man...or woman. Thanks

Some are way smaller than others...
