About Polar
The first EKG accurate wireless heart rate monitor was invented by Polar back in 1977 as a training tool for the Finnish National Cross Country Ski Team. The concept of "intensity training" by heart rate swept the athletic world in the eighties. By the 1990s, individuals were looking to heart rate monitors not only for performance training needs, but also for achieving everyday fitness goals. Today, the same concept of heart rate training is being used by world-class athletes as well as everyday people trying to lose weight. Polar is the leading brand among consumers, coaches, and personal trainers worldwide and the company is committed to not only producing the best products, but also being the leading educator on the benefits of heart rate based exercise.

4 out of 5 stars Accurate   August 7, 2010
Whitney Lewis (Schaumburg, IL United States)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I've been using this product for over a year now. I have found that once calibrated it is pretty accurate for distance. Pacing is just OK. For me, it seems to bounce around +or- 30 sec per mile. One minute I will look down and read my pace and 20 seconds later I will read it again and it will say I am running 10-30 sec slower or faster when I don't feel like I have changed my pace. Overall I am pretty happy with it. It is much more accurate then the Nike+/ipod system (I received the Nike+ system as a gift and tried it out). Many people question the Foot Pod's bulkiness. You get used to it very quickly and won't really notice it while running. However, if looks are a concern, there is no getting passed the ugly black torpedo on your shoe...


5 out of 5 stars Great product and motivator   May 25, 2010
Hibbie (Denver)
Bought this for my wife who is triathlon training. It worked right out of the box and really motivated her to train harder, run faster and longer now that she knows what she is accomplishing. I recommend this to anyone who is training or wants to know what kind of speed and distance they run if they don't already. I hope to get one for myself soon.

5 out of 5 stars Confortable and very light   July 19, 2009
Francisco Komatsu (Brazil)
Very confortable and very light. You can run forever and won't even feel it is attached to your foot.

The battery lasts for about 8 months using 3 hours a week so no problem at all !




4 out of 5 stars Polar S1 Foot Pod   May 7, 2009
S. Bowling
This product was much easier to set up than I expected. All you have to do is coordinate it with your watch, run a specified distance (I did this on the treadmill so I would know how far I've gone) and the next time you use it it'll tell you how far and how fast you're running.

Now, I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because I've noticed a slight difference (roughly 5%) between the distance I've ran and the actual distance, but this could be from my treadmill being off (or from using the treadmill) when I calibrated the foot pod.
