Polar CS100B Cycling Computer Heart Rate Monitor (2008 Model)
The handlebar-mounted Polar CS100 combines all the features of a high-end cycle computer with a fully functional heart rate monitor--the Polar T31 coded transmitter. (The similarly featuredCS100Boffers heart rate monitor compatibility, but does not come with a monitor.) The CS100 provides a full range of cycling computer functions, and adds three new features to Polar's arsenal: the Polar Cycling Coach (a Web-based coaching program and diary), estimated time of arrival (based on your speed), and automatic display scroll, which switches the information on the display according to your preferences. Features include:Wireless ECG accurate heart rate with Polar OwnCode (5kHz) to prevent cross-talk from other heart rate monitorsTarget heart rate zones with visual and audible alarmsGraphical comparison of heart rate and speedHeart rate measurements: maximum of total and each lap, average of totalCycling measurements: Speed (current, average and max); trip; distanceCalorie consumption rate per kilometerWheel size settings for two bicycles, speed sensor installation for different fork shapesAutomatic lap recording (up to 50 laps) with exercise dateExercise file info page with date and timeSemi-automatic backlightingWater resistance to 10 meters (protects against rain and splashes)SpeedPointer: Points out the difference between average speed/pace and actual speed/pace on the display by up/down arrows.Estimated Time of Arrival: Set the distance you are going to ride, and your cycling computer calculates the estimated time of arrival based on your cycling speed.Polar OwnCal: Shows your energy expenditure during one exercise session as well as your accumulated kilocalories during several exercise sessions. Because the OwnCal tracks both the energy expenditure during one exercise session and the accumulated kilocalories during a longer time e.g. one week, it helps in achieving both short term and long term goals.Compatible with Polar WearLink 31 and Polar T61 coded transmittersManufacturer's WarrantyThe original purchaser of this heart rate monitor is backed by a limited warranty that states that this product that the product will be free from defects in material or workmanship for two years from the date of purchase.Note:Polar heart rate monitors are precision instruments; consumers are not advised to change their own battery.

The concept of "intensity training" by heart rate swept the athletic world in the eighties. By the 1990s, individuals were looking to heart rate monitors not only for performance training needs, but also for achieving everyday fitness goals. Today, the same concept of heart rate training is being used by world-class athletes as well as everyday people trying to lose weight. Polar is the leading brand among consumers, coaches, and personal trainers worldwide and the company is committed to not only producing the best products, but also being the leading educator on the benefits of heart rate based exercise.
