I have been using Polar's training computers since 2004. At first I wasn't sure of how I could benefit from using it, but now I can't exercise without it. I now have the FT80 with G1 GPS sensor and love it.

@SSuperCuriouss Without a strap you don't get 100% accuracy but I have a polar with a strap & another brand from Kmart without a strap that doesn't get that much difference in results as my Polar. I guess it depends on how much you wanna nit pick
I'm beginner in fitness.And i really can't understand how it works.A personal trainer and training program how it works?! i use Nokia n79 active(where i can see my distance,altitude,speed,heart rate-and i have MP3,Phone all in one! for fitness program and control-i use my second phone Samsung f110 with MICOACH system..+ Moto s9 headphones i can run and enjoy from incoming calls,my playlist and voice coaching instruction at the same time ) is a watch + equip. or self training/control system??
Got one today. Even thought this ad sounds insincere, the Polar is still one of the best. I've had F55 for years and it was perfect tool for improving my training. I was hesitant between Polar, Suunto and Garmin, and details decided.
It is meant for exercise. Not an all day calorie tracker. HRM's are actually the most accurate when it comes to estimating calorie burn during exercise.
JAKIE!! Miss ya! You would be so proud of us. We are using our HRMs at all three of our clubs and we got the grant approved for our local school district and serve as the trainers for the teachers.
I hate the way she looks at her watch and then agrees when he says it looks great (41 seconds) I think I am going to go with a garmin just because I found that so annoying
I actually love the format of these two. I've seen each of the videos and like the balence between concept and pitch. I randomly know the guy. He did an awesome fitness demo at my kids school. Do you know how I can contact him?
I was thinking about getting this but the price and technical issues mentioned in Polar forums made me shy away. I found that my i phone has a app (GymOne) that can perform the weight training workout function better than this watch. Also for the price it didn't seem like a good idea considering it doesn't include a foot pod or GPS. I decided to go with Suunto T3c which i grabbed of Amazon for about $170 dollars less.
I guess, i don't wan't to feel like I am being talked down to.. and they are not payed actors.
But something about these videos seem way to scripted.. and impersonal...
Maybe a video of one of you, just sitting down and talking about a workout you just did, would be good... Make us feel like you guys are human, and not robots..
Really good! I am working towards weight loss at the moment and whilst this watch doesnt include weight loss plans (FT60 apparently does) - it lets me know my "Zone 1" heart rate (fat burning zone) which I train in. I've already lost a fair bit of weight compared to training before without it.
Once I'm at the right weight; it will be perfect for fitness training.
Its a good looking watch which I wear casually too!
Can you find a missing person who wears a Polar gps?

i need this or some similar product. doing cardio means exercising at your target heart rate and increasing duration. right or wrong?
so my problem is that the bikes in the gym measure HR but are so brutal. i think i can do better with a fast jog but then i don't know my HR

So is the FT80 the bestest Polar has? I mean this vid is 2 years old.
Or is there another make i should look at - no price limit. I like to gym, swim and run.
Is there something without a strap, just as good?
The gps is massive bulky!!

@AnimationPlantation . Thanks, I bought the FT80 anyway. Was just after comfort while working out, etc. But its ok. I guess I love the brand. :-)

A good looking watch, a bit too pricey though. For £300 odd id be looking at a titanium time piece.

Nope...he is wearing it correctly. Look at a picture of the FT80. You'll see that the Polar sign is on the top side of the watch.
