In order to reach your fitness goals, you need to exercise at the right
intensity. The Polar RS100 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. This basic HRM features added stopwatch and time-of-day
watch features as well as extra-large digits for easy readability. The Time in
Target Zone feature calculates the amount of total exercise time spent in your
personal target zone. You can use this feature together with the Total Exercise
Time to determine the effectiveness of your exercise program.
The RS100 displays heart rate as beats per minute (beats per minute) and as a
percentage of the maximum heart rate. The Target Zone feature can be set
manually or automatically (for age/weight), and the RS100 provides visual and
auditory alarms when you've moved away from the zone. Other features include
dual time zone, alarm with snooze, and water resistance to 50 meters.
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 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.

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.
The RS100 is a simple, no-fuss solution that's perfect for entry level runners
who want to get on the right track to fitness. It comes with a variety of
uncomplicated yet highly effective features. Heart Rate features include
OwnCode, OwnCal, OwnZone, average heart rate and maximum heart rate. Data
features include 1 exercise file and data transfer.
