Amazon.com Product Description
With the Polar S1 Foot Pod, you can track your speed, distance, pace and average speed on a compatible Polar heart rate monitor (HRM). The Polar S1 combines inertial technology and DSP (digital signal processing) to provide accurate speed/pace and distance data. Worn on top of your shoe, it offers excellent water resistance. It's compatible with Polar S625X, S725X, RS200 and RS400 models. It comes with an extra holder fork. About Polar
The first EKG accurate wireless heart rate monitor was invented by Polar back in 1977 as a training tool for the Finnish National Cross Country Ski Team. 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.

 Great product and motivator May 25, 2010
Hibbie (Denver)
Bought this for my wife who is triathlon training. It worked right out of the box and really motivated her to train harder, run faster and longer now that she knows what she is accomplishing. I recommend this to anyone who is training or wants to know what kind of speed and distance they run if they don't already. I hope to get one for myself soon.
 Very Useful May 16, 2010

Confortable and very light July 19, 2009
Francisco Komatsu (Brazil)
Very confortable and very light. You can run forever and won't even feel it is attached to your foot.
The battery lasts for about 8 months using 3 hours a week so no problem at all !
Polar S1 Foot Pod May 7, 2009
S. Bowling
This product was much easier to set up than I expected. All you have to do is coordinate it with your watch, run a specified distance (I did this on the treadmill so I would know how far I've gone) and the next time you use it it'll tell you how far and how fast you're running.
Now, I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because I've noticed a slight difference (roughly 5%) between the distance I've ran and the actual distance, but this could be from my treadmill being off (or from using the treadmill) when I calibrated the foot pod.
Very accurate right out of the box, and it's very light too! April 26, 2008

My initial reaction when looking at the S1 Foot Pod was, "No Way". I mean, it looks like some type of fancy pedometer. And I use one, the Omron HJ-112 Digital Premium Pedometer, and I know it's not totally accurate when it comes to distance because it's based on your pre-set stride.
To my surprise, this S1 Foot Pod is very accurate, right out of the box, and without calibration! How do I know? I went for a walk today with the Foot Pod and my Magellan eXplorist 210 Handheld GPS, which has the accurate WAAS system. The discrepancy between the two devices was 0.025 miles. That's very small! And with no calibration? It's even more unbelivable! For me and distance logging, tenths of a mile are all I'm concerned about anyway.
As far as weight, I didn't even notice it. It's very light and I put it on my left foot, which is not my dominant foot. Size-wise, I initially felt a little embarassed because the S1 is just a little bit smaller than a Twinkie, but now it doesn't bother me. It's so light that I don't even notice that it's there.
Battery life is rated at 20 hours.
One word of caution: Just make sure to verify that the unit is off when you're done. Press the red button and hold it down until the green light goes off. And double check it with your Polar watch, just to be sure.
Highly recommended for walkers, joggers, and runners!

Update: It's one year later and I've got this now calibrated to about 0.015 miles. Just make sure to do your initial calibration on a flat surface with no hills. And it's best to calibrate it every time you switch shoes as well. Overall I'm still very impressed!
