Product Description
Monitor the intensity of your workouts using Polar"s Sport Zone program and create personalized training sessions using the Interval Trainer. Event Countdown Timer counts down the days to your next running event so you stay motivated. Download your stats to the Polar Running Coach Web Service for complete analysis.

Amazon.com Product Description
In order to reach your fitness goals, you need to exercise at the right intensity. Designed for goal-oriented runners, the Polar RS200 wrist heart rate monitor helps you to easily and accurately measure your heart rate to help you get to just the right intensity or your exertion level. It's great for both beginning runners or more experienced runners preparing for competitions. Use the Polar Sports Zones and the Event Countdown Timer to manage your training for that key running event. You can even upload your settings to your running computer and then download your workout files to the Polar Running Coach Web Service for analysis. The RS200 offers up to 16 exercise files with summaries, date and time, and total calorie expenditure. This model features a red and gray face and strap, but it also comes in black.

With the optional S1 foot pod, you'll be able to take advantage of the RS200's Speed and Distance functions, such as speed, distance and pace per kmph/mph, target pace (with alarms and differential), trip odometer, run distance, totals for mileage, calories and time training, and summaries for distance and speed/pace.

Heart rate monitoring includes maximum heart rate (fitness test-based and age-based), maximum/average of total exercise and of each lap (up to 99 laps), and three target zones, and audible alarms. It also offers such timing features as time of day (12/24-hour display), dual time zone, day and date display, stopwatch, and alarm with snooze. It features an oversized display, easy to manipulate buttons while on the run, and a comfortable WearLink fabric transmitter.

It's a great choice for using in large groups, where other exercisers might be using wireless training gear that could interfere with your own signal. The RS100's coded transmission prevents crosstalk with other monitors so you'll get a personalized workout--even in a class environment. It also includes the following exclusive Polar features:

  • Polar Sport Zones: Polar sport zones provides an easy way to select and monitor the intensity of your training and to follow PolarOs sport zones based training programs. The training is divided into five zones based on percentages of your maximum heart rate: very light (50-60%HRmax), light (60-70% HRmax), moderate (70-80%HRmax), hard (80-90% HRmax) and maximum (90-100% HRmax).
  • Polar OwnCal: This feature shows your energy expenditure during one exercise session as well as your accumulated kilocalories during several exercise sessions. You can set daily and weekly exercise goals in terms of calorie expenditure with the OwnCal feature. Because the OwnCal tracks both the energy expenditure during one exercise session and the accumulated kilocalories during a longer time e.g. one week, it helps in achieving both short term and long term goals.
  • Polar OwnZone: This feature guides you through an appropriate warm-up routine and automatically determines a safe and effective exercise heart rate zone--your OwnZone--while taking into account your current physical condition.

Manufacturer's Warranty
The original purchaser of this heart rate monitor is backed by a limited warranty that states that this product that the product will be free from defects in material or workmanship for two years from the date of purchase.

Note:
Polar heart rate monitors are precision instruments; consumers are not advised to change their own battery. Polar recommends that all service be done by an authorized Polar Service Center which will include a warranty for 90 days on repairs and 6 months for batteries.

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.

3 out of 5 stars Go for the Garmin 405   September 14, 2008
This is a good product, but who wants something hanging off your foot, and who wants to remember to turn off the foot pod. I've gone through too many AAA for this costly mistake.

You may be skeptical about the accuracy too, which is the main reason I had to go and buy the Garmin 405. I can not say enough good about the Garmin product and for just 70 dollars more you will like that you don't have to rely on a foot pod and your watch is recharable. Take it for what it is worth, I own both, yet only use my Garmin 405.



4 out of 5 stars All good so far   January 19, 2007
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

Have only had the Polar RS200SD for a few days but it seems to be exactly what i need. the footpad is not overly accurate straight out of the box, about 10% off for me, but after calibration it seems very good, probably about the 1% claimed. Autolapping is a good feature


4 out of 5 stars Good value   December 9, 2006
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Sorry to hear others had problems with their units, as I haven't so far, and I've had it about a year. I do need to replace the battery for the chest strap (just went out this week), but that seems easy enough. The unit is designed for runners and was one of only a few (one year ago) that would allow me to set up an interval program the way I wanted. It's far from perfect, Polar doesn't supply you with the software that will allow you to use all the watch records, but there's enough there for training for a marathon. Really serious competitors may want the more advanced model. Now that this model is over a year old there may be something better. Biggest drawback for me was the relatively soft 'beep'- my ears aren't the best and its just not that loud. Also, the face scratches easily and I found the speed update rather slower than advertised (could be the batteries, but the lag time is annoying when you do a run walk). The customer service guy said mine sounded slow but I relied on it during my training so much so I didn't have the time to even consider sending it back. I would definitely recommend it to anyone new to training for long distance running- the HRM plus footpod takes running to a whole new level.


1 out of 5 stars Bad electronics / software   October 19, 2006
 3 out of 6 found this review helpful

I had always thought highly of the Polar products until my RS200sd heart monitor made a couple of beeps and died on me after 9 months. This seems to be the normal time for it to quit on people after reading the other reviews here.

Now I'm a bit disappointed with both the quality of the product and the service the company serves. I sent my watch in for service hoping for a diagnostic. "Bad electronics" was the verdict. That does not tell me much - is it a common mistake for the model and will it happen again? Again, after reading on this page it seems to be a normal problem. Now I have a defect model returned with a flat battery and have to to the rounds with Polar again. That means I have to spend 15$ to send the watch to them and again wait quite some time for an answer. When you buy these products you are bound to Polar to perform all kind of service on the heart rate monitor, including changing batteries on both belts and watches.

I think you will find better priced and just as good products in other brands.



4 out of 5 stars I've had some minor issues, but it is a great HRM   July 17, 2006
 6 out of 6 found this review helpful

I bought the RS200sd back in October of last year. I am very happy with it right now.

Calibration of the foot unit took a while, but now it is measuring distances fine.

The main problem was the blank screen, reset issue. It would either happen at the beginning of my runs, or when I would press the back light button to unlock the buttons. I had these happening to me almost weekly. In the end, the local Polar reseller exchanged the watch for me, and I haven't had a problem since.
