Polar AXN500

Advantages: helps you get the best exercise in the least time
Disadvantages: aren't enough functions for an athlete or a fitness junkie

...The polar F6 is watch combining an ECG standard heart rate monitor (this means the accuracy is comparable with an ECG but it doesn’t provide the whole functionality of one. The unit will not detect irregular rhythms or other problems ). I guess a few of you are wondering what I am doing with one of these possibly unsightly things.

Diabetes has quite a lot of unpleasant risks associated with it such as hardening of the arteries and raised cholesterol which can lead to strokes and heart conditions such as angina and heart attacks ; Degeneration of the nerves and poor circulation in the legs leading to foot ulceration and infection; Kidney disease and eye problems.

This baby comes with more features than you can shake a stick at and also comes in several different colour combinations.
