Features

• Body Measurement:
  
  • Automatic age-based target zone: To help you train safely and effectively, the training computer determines your heart rate target zone limits automatically, according to your age-based maximum heart rate (220 minus age). The limits are determined either in beats per minute, as a percentage of your maximum heart rate, or as a heart rate reserve.
  • Average and maximum heart rate of training
  • Heart rate: Can be expressed as the number of beats per minute, or as percentage of your maximum heart rate. Heart rate can also be expressed as a percentage of your heart rate reserve, meaning the difference between your resting heart rate and maximum heart rate (HRR = HRmax - HRrest). In Polar software or during strength training, heart rate can be displayed as a graphical trend.
  • HR-based target zones with visual and audible alarm: You can define your target zones for a training session based on heart rate to help define the right intensity. When you are out of the preset zones, the training computer will give a visual and audible alarm.
  • Manual target zone: This feature enables you to define the target zone as you want and is suitable for your training. You can set the target zone for your training as beats per minute, as a percentage of your maximum heart rate, or as a percentage of your heart rate reserve.
  • Polar OwnCode (5kHz) coded transmission: Coded heart rate transmission automatically locks in a code to transmit your heart rate to the training computer. The training computer picks up your heart rate from your transmitter only. Coding prevents interference from other training computers.
• Recording: Training files with summaries
• Training: Enjoy HeartTouch button-free operation of the wrist unit. When HeartTouch is on, different training information during training can be accessed without pressing buttons, for instance, when gloves make pressing buttons difficult, by bringing your training computer close to your transmitter.
• Watch:
  
  • Backlight
  • Date and weekday indicator
  • 12- and 24-hour clock
