Buy Polar RS200 Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Black)

I purchased this RS200 (red) from my health club in late Jan 2009. I read the instructions word-for-word to try to set-up the settings the way I wanted them (including date, time, etc.). It is so confusing to do these simple actions that even the fitness instructors at my health club can't explain it to me. Instead, they always set it up for me whenever it needs to be changed (due to change in time or date for daylight savings time or whatever) because it's too difficult to actually explain how to do it.

Also, I've owned the watch less than 11 months, and the battery is already low, so I have to send it in to a Polar authorized representative to get a new one. A big hassle, if you ask me, and the cost of battery replacement and insured shipping. I'm about to get onto the Polar web site to get the instructions for doing this, but if this process is anything like the instructions for using the monitor, I can tell that I'm in for trouble. I don't recommend this product.Get more detail about Polar RS200 Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Black).
