1.	Branden rated this product 4 stars Thu, August 14,2008: Good piece of gear. Footpod is accurate on level terrain, accuracy falls off in uneven terrain (as you would expect with a pedometer). I too have to clean the contacts on the HRM prior to every use in order for it to funtion properly. Solid beginner to intermediate HRM/Distance bundle.

2.	Ernesto rated this product 4 stars Tue, October 02,2007: I have owned this polar for two years now, and had almost no problem at all. Only 1 time lock and easily solved. Had some problems with the transmission of the wearlink on winter, but again easily solved with just a few rocks of salt on the chest contacts. Better than expected.

3.	Indy rated this product 1 star Wed, August 01,2007: Avoid this product. I have owned all the options in this market and this has a flawed design. I am not anti-polar or the footpod. I owned the 625x as well. The 200sd locks up and does a total reset . . . at bad times. I went through 4 of these and they all did it. I have talked to many others ...

4.	Mike rated this product 4 stars Mon, July 23,2007: Works great so far. I calibrated with a 2 mile run but it was already calibrated correct. The distance has been accurate with only 2.5% error at most and most runs less than 1%. My only issues are that the watch band is a little uncomfortable on my wrist (got a blister during a long run) a...

5.	John rated this product 3 stars Mon, February 12,2007: Generally pleased with performance but watch button response slow and footpod only accurate (90-95%) on level hard surfaces. Running on undualating ground or bush tracks get varied results. The manual is difficult to follow so there are some features that I still haven't worked out.

6.	Mark rated this product 1 star Tue, November 14,2006: The footpod is worthless, I could not get any calibration better than 20% and often the pace reads 0.00. Don't waste your time and money on this.

7.	Andrew rated this product 5 stars Mon, November 13,2006: I've had mine since August and have not had a single problem with it. Hopefully it doesn't quit on me like it has for others. Got it for $160 and is a perfect running watch for a beginner or someone who doesn't want to break the bank getting a running watch.

8.	RM rated this product 4 stars Sun, October 15,2006: I have put about 800 miles on mine, and I like it. It was accurate for me right out of the box (4 mile test at the track gave 4.04 miles), but it�s less accurate doing hills and trails. The only gripe I have is that I need to carefully clean the contacts on the chest strap before each run, or the h...

9.	Steve rated this product 1 star Mon, October 09,2006: I found this to be nearly worthless, and am sending back to RRS. The technical manual is very poorly written, and at in places, incorrect. Polar's customer service is just awful. I've tried to call them, only to be put endlessly on hold, and when I finally have gotten a live human being, I've bee...

10.	Mullan rated this product 2 stars Thu, June 29,2006: Reliability seems to be the major issue with this unit based on the reviews that I've read on this and other sites. My watch recently died after only 5 months of careful use and is now completely useless. When it was working I was reasonably happy with it. My only criticisms were that the buttons...

11.	Mike Chase rated this product 1 star Wed, June 21,2006: I had this setup for about a month and used it for final training for Grandma's Marathon--mainly to identify a race strategy. Much to my dismay, the unit "winked out"--showing all "8's" at about the 2.5 mile point of the actual marathon, leaving me without my presets. I managed to restore some basi...

12.	Robert rated this product 2 stars Sun, April 02,2006: I was not impressed with my rs200sd. When I got it, I noticed that it is made of cheap grade plastic and the buttons are not very responsive. The footpod had a hard time staying on, so i would end up getting ridiculous results. One day, i put it in sleep mode and it never came out, so i am sending i...

13.	Mike B. rated this product 4 stars Sat, October 08,2005: A solid piece of equipment. I was relitively impressed with the accuracy. I have been using GPS systems in this capacity/use for some time. They often go out when Line of Sight to the satellites is lost. Around buildings, in deep woods, etc. This was always frustrating. This Polar unit will ne...
