Amazon.com Product Description
A smart, intuitive training computer for runners and cross-training athletes, the Polar RS300X wrist heart rate monitor helps you to train at the right intensity with personal training zones. It's compatible with Polar's S1 foot pod and G1 GPS sensor (both separately available), enabling you to combine heart rate with speed and distance and truly make sense of your training. Committed runners will find the most value in the real-time pace and distance measurement of the S1 foot pod, while those who mix up their training regimen with cycling, inline skating, paddling, mountain biking or hiking will be best served with the speed and distance G1 GPS Sensor. It comes with the Polar WearLink+ 31 coded transmitter (with changeable battery). 
The RS300X helps you to train at the right intensity with personal training zones. |  | Polar RS300X Models - Basic RS300X
-- black and orange - RS300X SD with S1 foot pod for real-time pace/distance
-- black and orange - RS300X G1 with G1 GPS Sensor for cross-trainers
-- black and orange |  | | The RS300X enables athletes to train at the right intensity and improve their performance through core metrics such as heart rate, speed, distance, pace, and calorie burn. Advanced features include Polar's exclusive OwnZone feature for individualized zone training by heart rate or pace, a fitness test, and auto lap splits, which display average heart rate, pace and distance per lap. Athletes can easily review up to 16 past workout files to check their progress and ensure they're staying on track with their fitness or training plan. Features include: - Heart rate displayed as percentage of maximum heart rate, BPM, and average heart rate of total exercise
- Tracks your latest 16 training sessions and your last 16 weeks of training
- Visual and audible alarm in target zones: Informs you every time your heart rate and/or speed/pace exceeds the upper limit or falls below the lower limit of your target zone during a training session.
- Polar OwnIndex Fitness Test calculates aerobic fitness (comparable to maximal oxygen uptake, VO2max) providing a reference to base training intensity and measure improvement.
- Polar OwnCal: Shows your energy expenditure during one exercise session as well as your accumulated kilocalories during several exercise sessions. 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.
- Time in Target Zone feature calculates the amount of total training time spent in your personal target zone. You can use this feature together with the Total Exercise Time to determine the effectiveness of your training program.
- Number of laps - 99
- Watch features: alarm with snooze, dual time zone, stopwatch
- Compatible with Polar FlowLink (available separately)
- Water resistant to 50 meters
- Backlighting, display zoom
- Event Countdown Timer: Keeps your motivation high by showing how many days are left before your next running event (e.g., Berlin 23 days).
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.

 Polar RS300X June 6, 2010
K. McLeland
I love my heart rate monitor. It was easy to set up, is easy to use and is very helpful in gauging my workouts and getting the most out of them. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good heart-rate monitor at a reasonable price.
Excellent Product June 2, 2010
Jean Carlos Mena Arias (Costa Rica)
This is a great product, it takes all the data and works perfectly, the display is good is just that some people is stupid and think that is going to come with neon light or something that that is why they give bs of the display but is very good.
 Difficult to ue May 22, 2010

In these days of simplicity and excellent User Interface design, this product looks like it's out of the dark ages.
Even a basic function such as setting the time on the watch was non-intuitive and the documentation is very poor. It took two of us 15 minutes to figure out how to set the time. My wife said "I think I'll throw this thing out and buy a Garmin!!"
As others have said, the watch is hard to read even before dripping sweat makes for blurry vision.
Not recommended, even to people (like us) used to coping with technology.
Good watch but I have some questions, can anyone help?? May 18, 2010
K. Deering (CO)
I love the watch so far, but I have a couple questions:
How can I view my calories burned during my working? I can only see calories burned in the summary after I exit the workout. I try to burn a certain amount and I have no way of knowing where I am at.
Second, if I am at the gym I run then go lift weights, how do I turn off the footpod function but keep the heartrate monitor going? When I turn off the footpod and continue to workout the watch yells at me and says Check Footpod! I dont need the footpod function while lifting weights but I still want to monitor my the rest of my workout.
For those of you who cant see the font on the screen just hold down the up or down botton to zoom into whatever feature you have displayed on the screen.
Help me!

Makes your workouts count May 3, 2010
J.Drago (Colorado, USA)
It's mostly user friendly, although, I'm sure I'm only using about 5% of it's capibilities. With that being said, it has improved my work outs 10 fold. Tracking your HRT zones, lets your body tell you how hard you are working out, not your mind. Need to keep the strap tight during aqua type workouts, otherwise, it tends to loosen easier, and you will not get good readings. Other than that, I LOVE IT! Would reccommend it to anyone. The best part is, it works(readsout) with most all "workout" machines so you can just have a quick look on the machine and know where you are at.
