Title: Really Beneficial for my cardio workouts
Product review: I have owned my Polar RS400 for four years. The watch does a lot. So, configuring it was a little involved, but once you know how to set things up, it becomes fairly straight forward. It is menu driven. I like having the local software on my computer. The irDA, as others have noted, did take a bit figuring out. You literally need to align the watch very close to the irDA for the transferring of information from my watch. The wrist band is a rubber like material. The one problem I had was after a year and a half, the wrist band tore. I talked with the trainers at the gym and they noted that there had been some issues early on with the wrist band. Fortunately, they had a spare one as I had difficulty trying to find replacement band. I also wore out my Wear link chest strap. So, it has been well used and recently bought a new one. The watch synch's nicely with the cardio machines at the gym and helps me keep focus on zone training.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
