The polar I am referring to is the Polar who puts out Heart Rate Monitors. Why do they bite big time? For several reasons. I was suckered into my first Polar HRM because it seemed like a good deal even though you needed to mail it off to get the battery changed. Then, when I needed to have the battery changed, I found out how much it would cost: roughly $25. There was also the time factor of between 1 and 2 weeks I would have no HRM. Sooooo, I did without for about a year. I still went back to their website because I still thought they offered deals and it seemed like everybody was using Polar. Eventually, I bought another one and realized I had the same fricking problem. This time I thought I should be able to change the battery myself. After taking off the back I realized the battery seemed to have been built into the HRM. Why would they shit on their customer base in such a manner? Were they that damn greedy. Sure, very pricey models were available that allowed the consumer to change the battery. But why did Polar make them so fricking expensive?

| Sucky piece of shit |
Here is a picture of the last Polar product I will ever purchase. Not only because the company seems to have no problem shitting on their customer base and sucking every conceivable penny out of them, but also because I purchased an Imac and Polar is not Apple friendly. I checked out their website and in this day of the Ipad could find no compatible app. I did go on to purchase a Suunto HRM which I used for a couple of years (you can change the battery on their models) and finally graduated to Garmin. More on that later.
