Polar RS300X Excellent Watch!
Excellent purchase. The monitor sits very comfortable on my wrist, the band is easily washable and also comfortable too. Only problem so far is that the buttons are too sensitive, whenever I'm working out with lifts and something touches the lateral buttons, they are activated.

Polar RS300X Worth the money.
Polar RS300X Worth the money.
I have been using the HRM for a couple of days...It has been giving me good results. However, I do recommend to watch the videos on this link [...], which will provide additional detail that the manual does not. There is so much you can do with this HRM it's an incredible experience. For those who think that you can not see the calories burned during a workout is so WRONG....Trust me, it is worth the buy. Good luck to you all....If HRM status should change I will let you all know. For now two thumbs up!!!!!!!

Polar RS300X Heart Rate Monitor NICE!
Polar RS300X Heart Rate Monitor NICE!
I purchased this unit a few years ago. I have found it to be a very valuable and reliable heart rate monitor. It's a digital display which isn't exactly high tech, but it's what I'd expect it to be. It has all of the features that I wanted and it wasn't outrageously expensive. It does the job it's supposed to do. I'm glad I have it, and I don't regret buying it.

Polar RS300X AMAZING!!
Polar RS300X AMAZING!!
Remember to wash strap and wet transmitters before wearing! I didn't bother reading the instructions cos I thought the transmitter strap was just like the plastic one...but oh no! My strap stopped working and I soon realized that it should be washed in the machine after every 5 uses and also you MUST wet the two transmitters before use and also wash off sweat after use. Not complicated when you know why it ain't workin'! I wash in 40 degrees as stated in the manual and this watch is totally amazing!

Polar RS300X Best Price
Polar RS300X Great Product
I had purchased one of the "el'cheapo" HRM monitors from Wal-Mart and it was grossly inaccurate. I decided to spend the money for a Polar. After shopping and reading, I found this HRM on Amazon. The RS300X has been great ! I am an avid tracker and it has given me the ability to track and record data, and that has helped me reach and maintain a new found level of health.
Thanks for the great product !
Polar RS300X Excellent training tool
I purchased the Polar RS300X to replace a Polar S210 HRM that had started to wear out (had previous one for over 10 years). This new model has similar functions to my previous model such as programming for different workouts including time based and heart rate based intervals and Ownindex fitness test to compute VO2 Max. The watch offers several big improvements: The wearlink chest strap maintains much better contact and signal than my previous T61 strap, and its more comfortable to wear. I use the watch on both an elliptical trainer and a road bike and the strap has maintained a positive signal in different positions on both pieces of equipment. I also will really appreciate the user replacable battery on the strap when the time comes. The watch itself is much easier to program and offers additional programs and settings that I have not even tried yet. I also purchased the Polar Flowlink to allow me to download and track my workouts. Just tried to download the first few weeks of workouts so far and found the process to be very easy. The only thing I do not like about this HRM is that the watch band and case are all one piece. The band eventually broke on my previous S210 model (I used it on both my wrist and a bike mount) and I was able to replace it easily with an off-the-rack replacment strap. If the strap on this one should tear, I do not know how it would be replaced. I guess maybe I would have to send it back to Polar? Sounds much more expensive and hopefully it never comes to that.
Polar RS300X Good deal.
This is an excellent polar watch, if you likes do excesices outside this is a good deal for you, you coul track your excersice in the polar web page and make your routines
Polar RS300X Best Price, Very Well.
The watch works very well and keeps time and heart rate very well. The only problem is that if you are using the stop watch, you cannot go back and forth between the actual time and the stop watch time. Overall a light and good product.
Polar RS300X Best Price, Excellent basic HRM
So far, I've found the RS300X to be an accurate, easy-to-use HRM with a nice set of features. At the Amazon price, it's a very good value.
By way of background, I've had several previous heart rate monitors. They include about 4 previous Polar monitors, as well as monitors by Garmin, Suunto, and Timex. Polar has always seemed the best at measuring heart rate during activity, especially if you use the Wearlink(fabric) transmitter belt. And since I often work out at gyms, the compatibility with most treadmills and other aerobic machines is an advantage. However, but all my previous Polar HRMs had unintuitive interfaces and poor instruction manuals. Timex was just about the opposite; they had the best receiver (watch) with large, clear displays and easily navigated menus. But I had to return both Timex HRMs that I ordered from Amazon because the heart rate function never worked. It seemed that the transmitter never made good enough contact with my skin, even when I used electrode gel.
My Suunto (model T3C) is a pretty good HRM and the receiver unit looks good, at least if you like the look of a conventional watch. The main display item (eg heart rate) is very easy to read, but the smaller lower display (time or whatever you choose to show) is tiny and hard to read when you're running. If you ordinarily use reading glasses you're out of luck. Also it doesn't display much information, perhaps because the main display item has such large pixels.
The Garmin FR60 is an excellent and generally reliable HRM but the receiver is thick and unattractive. I just sent it in for the 2nd time because it stopped working. Garmin customer support, however, has been excellent. I got the model with the foot pod for measuring distances but I've never actually used the foot pod. Its interface is not entirely intuitive but it isn't bad.
The Polar RS300X is easily the best of these. I wasn't looking for a lot of features, only basic heart rate measurement and convenient lap timing. I wore it on a long run today and it rapidly determined my heart rate and seemed to be completely accurate the whole time. Some reviewers have complained that the display is hard to read for older eyes; I didn't find that a problem at all even with sunglasses. The menus are logical and there are hints to direct you to what to do next when you're scrolling through options. One of the most attractive aspects of this model is that it's so easy to do lap timing. So when you're running a marathon, for example, it's very easy to check your pace each mile while continuing to monitor your heart rate, and it is great for interval training. It shows the lap time, cumulative time, and heart rate on a single screen.
I'm also enjoying some of the features that I never thought I'd use. For example, the "Polar Index" is basically a measure of your resting heart rate that is supposed to correlate with MvO2. It isn't hard to measure your resting heart rate, but this feature offers a convenient way to get an average heart rate over 5 minutes - not something you'd want to do by checking your pulse for that long. It does a really nice job of defining training zones automatically and reporting the time you spend in each zone.
Although I call it basic this HRM has all the features I need for training and racing long distances. Polar has always had good technology but in the past was weak at interface design. They've made great strides with this model.
Polar RS300X Best Buy, Very accurate and easy to get started.
Lightweight, easy interface and quick start up. So far so good! I just wish the nicer units didn't need a chest strap.
Polar RS300X Best Buy, Good Value and Great Features.
I purchased this model as an upgrade from the Polar FT-2, which, in my opinion, does not work well. So far the RS-300X has been great for timing my runs and being able to record each session. I like the fact that you can upload all your training sessions and store the info online. Settings are easy to program, and that you can track your calories/fat burn with each session.
Polar RS300X Heart Rate Monitor Taking my workouts to a new level
I'm learning that everything i was told back in school about working out was all wrong. Never heard or tried zone training until i started at the gym again and they recommended this monitor to me. Staying in zone is easy with the large display and it syncs with most of the machines i've used so the heart rate is displayed on it. An essential piece for training. Would definitely recommend.
Polar RS300X Heart Rate Monitor Great Product.
This is my first heartrate monitor and the RS300X is a perfect match for what I needed. Easy to use, lots of features and plenty of optional accesories to add as I get more serious about my workout data.

Polar RS300X Reiews
Polar RS300X Pleased, great for cardio training
I was moving up from the basic polar heart rate monitor with limited functions. I bought this for interval training and more advanced cardio training. The watch has a number good functions and works just as expected. I already know the routes I go so there is no need for the added cost of a GPS equipped system.
Polar RS300X Love it!
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.
Polar RS300X Excellent Product.
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.
It works great, but I really don't like Polar design....but it is a excelent product.
Polar RS300X Very Happy!
I bought this to replace my Polar F6. I loved the F6, but I wanted a watch that did lap times as well.
The RS300X was a great upgrade. It's comfortable, and the display is very large and easy to read while running. I added the Flowlink unit, and that makes the watch almost perfect. Uploading my training data to the Polar website is as easy and laying my watch down on the Flowlink unit.
Polar RS300X Heart Rate Monitor My boyfriend loved it!
This heart rate monitor is easy to use, has large buttons, and an easy to read display. I believe this is the best heart rate monitor in it's price range. It has lots of options. My boyfriend loves it for jogging. He also likes the material of the chestband, believes it is well engineered. Great heart rate monitor for it's pricerange. My boyfriend is very happy with it. I bought this one because it had lots of good reviews, and they were correct.
Polar RS300X Heart Rate Monitor Great!
The Polar RS300X has been a great investment. I love how I can get multiple readouts while working. The chest strap is comfortable and the replaceable battery is a plus. Great price, great investment!
Polar RS300X Heart Rate Monitor Glad I chose this Polar!!
Based on the previous reviews I was concerned and considered a Garman instead of the RS300. The Polar has given a solid and consistant H.R. The display content can be edited, and my 50 year old eyes can see the info OK. "My wife helped me get the micro print Serial# of the back" The Polar website gets 5 stars for on-line "video" user manual and great info about aerobic exercise. The final bonus..... When I stepped up onto the LifeFitness Treadmill at our gym, my Heartrate was already displaying on the panel b4 I even dialed up my cardio workout. Hands free Cardio workouts. To cool.
Polar RS300X Heart Rate Monitor Works Great.
It's my first heart rate monitor and I've used it for about a month now. It took a couple of times using it before I got the hang of the settings but it works well. It's great being able to track my progress and the intensity of the workouts.
Polar RS300X Heart Rate Monitor Watch Very Satisfied
I've had this watch for a month now and I've been using it with no problems whatsoever. It is easy to navigate through the screens and very ergonomically designed. It gives meaning and perspective to every work out.Moreover, it is a hip looking watch so i wear it casually everyday.
My only issue is the design of the strap that is integral to the watch mechanism. the question is not IF it snaps and tears along stretched weak point, BUT when. i don't know if Polar has a replacement strap, but i sure hope it's made of high quality plastic composite that can withstand the tying and untying of the watch strap as i do wear it everyday.
Polar RS300X Heart Rate Monitor Watch REBIEW BY SETH SAY : GREAT PRODUCT
Great product. I mainly use it to track calories. The transmitter strap could be a little bigger (longer). That being said, I've worn it all day to get an idea of calories burned and it was tolerable.
