Just wondering if the Polar HRM watches include the chest strap w/ transmitter, or if I have to buy it separate. I am looking at this product:

http://www.amazon.com/Polar-Heart-Monitor-Watch-Design/dp/B00136U9TW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1270496896&sr=1-2

All of the reviews mention the strap but no one mentions if it was bought separately. Anyone know?

    The F6 definitely includes it! It also comes with the F4 which is less expensive.

    The RS100 comes with the chest strap... works great! :bigsmile:

    Oh I see why you were confused ... the other transmitter that's sold separately is covered in cloth and has a replaceable battery. So it's a tad more comfortable (though I hardly noticed mine once it was on). My advice would be to use the one that came with it until the battery runs out ... not sure how long that takes as mine is still running after a year.
