Ideal for general fitness, running, and other cardio workouts, the Polar F5 heart rate monitor watch combines all the necessary heart rate features with a sleek, high-quality design.
For weight management, running in the 60- to 70-percent zone helps you burn fat and build endurance. Or you can increase your overall fitness by doing tempo runs in the 70- to 80-percent zone. Best of all, heart rate monitors aren't just for competitive runners, as casual joggers will also find them invaluable.
The F5 is packed with innovative training features to help you toward your exercise goals, including Zone Pointer and OwnCal modes. The Zone Pointer is an audible and visual feature on the display of your F5 that shows you where your current heart rate sits within your target heart rate zone. Polar OwnCal, meanwhile, shows your energy expenditure during one exercise session, as well as your accumulated kilocalories during several exercise sessions. You can also set daily and weekly exercise goals in terms of calorie expenditure, helping you achieve both short-term and long-term goals. Price $63.61
