Strengths: The F6 has Ownzone facility so it works out your individual work out zones based on your heart rate without the need for complication formulas and maths. It is modest and attractive and can be worn as an everyday watch and my best feature is that it comes in PINK! Yes girlies like techy stuff too. Every week, your Polar F6 sends you a message telling you how many times you've exercised, your total time exercising and how many calories burnt! I love reading my weekly message. These files are stored for 12 weeks, when the oldest one is replaced by the new one. Great for keeping track of your fitness level.

It is modest and attractive and can be worn as an everyday watch and my best feature is that it comes in PINK! Yes girlies like techy stuff too. Can also be used for swimming as long as you don't push the buttons under water.

Weaknesses: It froze once whilst out on a long run. Had to take battery out and put it back in again. Not quite sure what that was all about.
Overall: I love my Polar F6 and would thoroughly recommend it. It's easy to use, and the transmitter strap is very comfortable. I wouldn't be without it!
