For those who run, this is the best option. The price is ok and it works perfectly for what it was designed to. I am really happy about my last purchase.

I have owned older Polar hear rate monitors, my favorite was the S210. Is really cheaply made, belt is integrated into the watch, which is a very bad design, since the belt will be worn out with a year of usage. Overall, I think Polar products have gotten worse over the years. I am glad to see competitor like Garmin with much better products capturing the market they deserve.

Let see.
Shipped with a dead battery.
Put in a new battery. Sucked it dry in a week.
AlsoPlease note that I have read the directions:
Top left button is useless. Should illuminate. Never worked.
GUI. aka Interface is all over the place. You get to a section and it wont let you back out. Mine has been stuck in stopwatch mode for a week now. It has taken 48 separate time splits without my asking it to.
I hate my watch. Im ready to throw it out if it wasnt so dam expensive. Thanks for nothing Polar.

Have only had the Polar RS200SD for a few days but it seems to be exactly what i need. the footpad is not overly accurate straight out of the box, about 10% off for me, but after calibration it seems very good, probably about the 1% claimed. Autolapping is a good feature

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.
