For a beginner who simply wants the basic functions of an accurate and high quality heart rate monitor, the Polar F4 is the perfect choice.

Pros
1. The Brand: Yes, there is a reason Polar is the most popular heart rate monitor brand in the United States today. It is because Polar monitors are highly reputable for their quality products which offer accuracy, simplicity, and an array of option for its many consumers. Sure, you can save yourself about 20 dollars and buy a cheaper heart rate monitor, but you must be willing to sacrifice the accuracy of the information the product will provide you.

Now ask yourself, if you are going to be spending money on a monitor, shouldn't accuracy of the equipment be on the top of your list of qualities to look for? Besides, even Polar offers many different choices in monitors and if you are simply looking for the basics (like a Polar F4) you would be spending no more than $100; for the high level of precision the monitor will provide, this price is indeed a bargain.

2. Highly accurate heart rate monitor & calorie counter: The Polar F4 will both track your heart rate and tell you how many calories you have burned. During set up of the monitor, you will be asked for your height, weight, and age. These numbers allow a very precise determination of how many calories you burn during your workout. Obviously, knowing how many calories you have burned is essential to weight loss.
