You can buy polar watches from Amazon where the Polar F11 has received over 150 reviews giving it 4 stars. Below are few comments of satisfied customers and I have also included a few of the unsatisfied reviews to give a balanced view:

Pros:

• "I am glad I chose the top watch (most expensive model) in the Polar fitness category because the "Keep u fit" program has helped me tremendously"
• "Stylish, works well with no interference from other monitors, strap is super comfortable (wearlink), comfortable fit on watch straps/face size, weekly, daily, and total exercise tracking, works with most gym equipment."

Cons:

•  So if you have any kind of arrhythmia, I would not recommend this device. Plus I found the instruction manual (more like a textbook) confusing.
• "Polar is the most accurate brand when it comes to tracking calories and heart rate, but their watches have to be sent to the factory for a battery replacement at a cost of $25.00 + shipping for battery that costs $1.95."
