Just went and bought a Polar F6 HRM. I don't think I've put it down since I got home, just trying to figure everything out on it.
If anyone has any tips for me, to use it to it's full potential, let me know. Like any little quirks it may have. I can't get my computer to read it through the mic, so I'll probably have to type in the numbers, but that's not a huge deal and I'm not good enough on computers to figure it out. Other than that, it seems great.
I was about to go give it a test run, but I'm going to hold off till my 4am workout to give it a whirl. Hope I like it as much in the morning!

    I don't have a polar but I do have a Timex and I love it! the best workout gift I've given myself. The thing with my Timex is that you have to start the crono also or it does give me a calorie reading for that work out.

    Good luck! and have fun

    Love mine. Chest strap is a little moody. Rub a little water under it if it isn't reading and you'll be good to go! :drinker:
