Polar FT80 Heart Rate Monitor GREAT!
Hi,
It took me a lot of time to pick up the right heart rate watch for me.
FT80 is the best from cost/price perspective. It is Polar which means good quality. This type of monitor allow exporting data whcih I then combine with results of RunKeeper (iPhone application for runners).
I really enjoy it.
Regards,
EG

Polar FT80 Best Price, Excellent product.
Polar FT80 Best Price, Excellent product.
Let's start with bottom line. I love and enjoy my new Polar FT80.
Got it about a month ago after training for a couple of years with an older version of a Polar heart rate monitor. The FT80 is a big step forward and upward.
First the physical aspect. The chest belt is wider and much more flexible and comfortable. Wetting it before the training to make sure the heart monitor connects well to the body is much easier and more reliable.
It stores 100 training sessions in its memory, so my whole training regiment for the last month can be reviewed. It also accumulates summaries so I can review the results on a weekly basis. This makes it much easier following my calories intake/spending on a daily or weekly basis.
During aerobic training there is a display that shows both the calories and the time spent from the start of the session. The previous version required jumping between two different displays to see these.
I set a weekly goal for training calories spending. I did not get the GPS Sensor or Foot Pod since all of my training is in the gym. I do not know how well they work, but if it is as well as the components I have, it should be very enlightening to get all the extra information like distance and speed statistics. It is also possible to set weekly distance goals.
The concept of heart rate based training zones is implemented very well. The time spent in each zone is recorded separately for each training session and accumulated through the week. The target time to be spent in each zone is also set on a weekly basis.
There is a special strength-training mode that shows the heart rate on a graph. On the same display I also see both the heart rate and the time from the start of the session, so I can time the rest between the exercise sets based either on time or my heart rate. It also suggests when to start the next set, although it currently gives me only about 30 seconds for rest and I feel I need more - or maybe I need to challenge myself more :-)
When my gym visit includes several sections like warm-up, strength training and aerobic training, I record them separately in the appropriate modes. Then when I come home I synchronize the watch very easily through the FlowLink with the [...] site and it stores all my training history. It also shows my target status, training-zone statistics and graphical curves of the heart-beat during all the training sessions.
I just skimmed through the training program feature, so I cannot comment on it. I did see that I can define a detailed training program with pre-defined exercises or add new ones I define myself. I'll probably do it further down the line.
It is even much better as a watch. It has a Stopwatch application with a nice multiple-laps recording feature and the wrist-band is very comfortable.
Finally, it even looks very nice - rounded, hi-tech shape. It looks different.
...Told you I love it :-)
Polar FT80 Best Price, Works Great.
The Polar FT80 has worked great for me. No issues with the display. I wear it playing basketball, aerobic excercises, and weight training and I haven't had any problems.
I have worn it outside in the sun and can see the display without issue both inside and outside.

Polar FT80 Watch NICE!
Polar FT80 Watch NICE!
The only drawback to this watch is the display issue others have mentioned.It actually looks better than the white face in the full sunlight and when it is dark with nightlight.The main problem is a certain level of light (low level in a slightly darkened gym)You have a glare area where you can only read the watch when you hold it at a certain angle.The web sync device worked fine for me,just go to Polar web site download websync 2.5 and then plug in the reader and the driver device should install.I had an old FT7 and FT 80 and they both loaded the info to polar web site in a snap.The fitness and relaxation test and tracking of these things make this a great watch to see how your workouts are going.If you have problems reading small print or will only use this in a Gym go with the white face.

Polar FT80 Heart Rate Monitor So far so good
Polar FT80 Heart Rate Monitor So far so good.
Amazing design. Very happy with what it was made to do. I am addicted to looking at my heart rate now! Very happy with the VO2 accuracy. VO2 was 1 off of my lab result which was taken a month and a half ago, so I would consider it accurate. Kinda sad with the web interface because of how few strength workouts you could choose from (Although I found a work around by changing the name of the premade workout ie.("bench" into "pushup")dependent on the exercise, in the web interface.) Very happy with how powerful and intelligent the watch is. I would not even consider it a watch except for the fact that it also tells time... All in all, very excited! People need to understand the power of working your lower and higher Heartrate ranges, and watches like these will make the difference. Very Happy, and I will return with a full review in a month. My current VO2 is 73. Resting HR 51.

Polar FT80 Just Perfect.
Polar FT80 Just Perfect.
I'm a huge fan of Polar products, first i bought the FT60 for a friend and when i got the watch i wanted to upgrade mine, so i went and look for a newer model for me.
I have been working out with my FT80 now for 3 weeks and i just love it, just becarefull by mistake i spread some Mosquito Spray on the watch and the wrist band color its peeling.
Polar FT80 Love it.
I received the item on time and I am satisfied. The product met my needs. I am using the gym every day and I love it.

Polar FT80 Heart Rate Monitor GREAT PROUDCT.
Polar FT80 Heart Rate Monitor GREAT PROUDCT.
I have used this watch for over a month, great product, for running and workout, perfect for me.
Good resistance to scratch, light and fine quality on materials.
Polar FT80 Heart Rate Monitor Excellent Watch. Does the job very well.
After reading a lot of reviews, I went ahead and bought the watch even though the product has 3 starts to its name. The watch does what it supposed to do. The cardio machines recognizes the heart strap device and is accurate. I love the graph bar image that shows while doing your physical work out. The watch has many features where the watch gives you your weekly results.
I understand the watch's image is hard to read but I love it. I know a lot of people don't like the LED brightness of the watch but I like it overall and doesn't bother me one bit.
Overall I would recommend this watch for people who manually records their workout like me. I record everything by hand and record it in my workout program instead of using the watches.

Polar FT80 GREAT WATCH!
Polar FT80 GREAT WATCH!
This monitor is a great assistant to measure, record and motivate anyone training to inprove their fitness.
The programmed features are pretty good with different training available programs if you need them as a guide or as a challenge. If you have a solid understanding of the principals of heart rate training you could use something less cabable, hence less expensive.
The Polar website for recording your fitness is pretty good. I acknowledge that some people don't like the fact it's on line only and not "downloadable" and some of the features are not all that flexible. I think it's best suited to soemone who's willing or who needs to be shown how to build and record a training program. Other websites like bodybuilding dot com are more felxible and could be used in conjunction with the the polar tool if you like. Simple daily trackers like diet assistant are also useful and it would be nice if they were all compatible or if the Polar crew developed their site further.
I've noted the complaints on software, watch face lighting etc but I've had no problem with these features.
Overall a very good assistant and I'd recommend this or the less expensvie versions. I am burning 3000cals extra a week now I have the item so it has been a successful purchase for me.

Polar FT80 Best Buy, Love it.
Polar FT80 Best Buy, Love it.
I do not have much to say on the features, which are abundant and as far as I can tell described correctly on the web site.
When I bought the watch I was somewhat afraid that it would have the data transfer issues and so far everything works great. The other two scares, that the display was too dark and the watch was too big to be worn comfortably turned out to be unfounded as well - for my taste at least.
Given that I needed a watch and a heart rate monitor at the same time (and most heart rate monitors are too ugly to wear as a watch) I figured that the FT80 would be a good deal - I would have spent roughly the same money anyway. Colleagues and friends have commented on my nice new watch, so I guess that this strategy worked out.
Polar FT80 Best Buy, Great Workout watch.
I've had this watch for about 2 months now and I'm very happy with it. The screen can be a little difficult to see indoors in certain lighting but for the most part its a non issue. I use it for biking, tennis, nautilus,kayaking, and daily walking. I find it to be a great motivator. My only issue is with the software link. It can be a pain but for the most part I have found a way around it. No matter what error I get from the system I find that if I just ignore it and continue to place my watch on the link system it eventually goes through. I have managed to transfer data even when it says "fatal system string error". I just leave the message there and put my watch on the link again. I have had it transfer data every time. If you say okay to the message it just shuts the whole system down and then you have to restart your computer and start the transfer again. I basically work out every day of the week and I always transfer my data after I finish a workout I have never been unsuccessful in transferring my workout data. It might take 5 minutes because I have to keep putting the watch on the link and clicking retry after it says connection lost but I always get it through and probably 80% of the time it goes through on the first try.
Overall I think this is a great watch, It looks great. It fits great I have really small wrists so I was pleased with its sleek look and more tapered fit.

Polar FT80 Best Price, VERY COOL.
Polar FT80 Best Price, VERY COOL.
I like the product just be aware it only goes to zone 3. Very cool though, definitely ideal to sync up with a computer (not a mac unfortunately). I have ended up using only the very basic functions, so probably could have been fine with a less expensive model, but it is good looking in my opinion.

Polar FT80 Heart Rate Monitor I LOVE THE DISPLAY
Polar FT80 Heart Rate Monitor I LOVE THE DISPLAY.
Based on the reviews you're reading and the one's I read before purchasing, the big concern is the display. With that reservation, I ordered it anyway, and must say I love the watch AND the display. It really is an attractive, full featured watch, that I much prefer over my RS200. True, the display is not as "bright" as black against gray, but it's clearly readable in and outdoors provided that you view it more or less straight on--at an angle, there is glare. That works fine for me, doesn't interfere with my workouts, and since I'm the only one who needs to read it, it's never a problem. The fit is great, really wraps around your wrist, and it's very low profile. And the black face is quite striking.
Polar FT80 Heart Rate Monitor VERY HAPPY.
It is a little hard to read, but get over it. I am 34 and can see it fine. The watch looks great and works perfect. Still need to swim with it for a complete review. I was worried ordering it after reading the reviews on here but I am very happy I got it.

Polar FT80 AMAZING!
Polar FT80 AMAZING!
I have had this watch for over four months and love it. The best workout companion I have ever had.
Here are the facts:
The screen is completely readable even in dim light. I wear it swimming and can see the numbers clearly through fogged goggles.
The buttons are not hard to push.
I have not had a single issue with the software. The watch has been very reliable and the website has been a great tool in tracking my progress.
The design is great! The low profile and smooth lines make it perfect for either powering out miles on the pavement or making business decisions in the boardroom.
If you are looking for a great workout partner that doesn't take days off, doesn't complain about doing another set and that really pushes you to the max, this is the watch you want. I would suggest not purchasing any other watch even the FT60 if you are considering a Polar watch. The FT60 is the babywatch to the FT80, everyone knows that.

Polar FT80 REVIEWS
Polar FT80 Absolutely Loving Every minute with it!
I've recently been introduced to the wonderful world of heart monitors and this by far is the most advanced amazing piece of technology.
Fit: Fit is extremely extremely comfortable. The belt strap is fabric and doesnt even feel like I have something on. Comparing the belt strap to a Polar F6 (Excellent watch as well) is like comparing a top of the line camry to a Lexus LS ! It also looks cool enough to wear it everyday.
Functionality: I can keep going on and on about the functionality but let me just say that the cardio and strenght training is out of this world. You practically do not need a personal trainer to tell you how hard you need to work out and how much break you need between sets. After each work out the watch compares your workout from the pervious day and tells you what you are improving on. The weekly stats are awesome too. It comes with a really cool USB upload tool to work with the protrainer app you download from polar site.
Its amazing!

Polar FT80 Great workout companion.
I just received this watch and have only worked out with it once, but so far, it is great. I did a bit of research on this watch, and the biggest complaint seemed to be the screen. A lot of people were complaining that theirs was too dim and they couldn't see it inside. I had absolutely no issues with it; perhaps it could have been a little brighter, but at no point during my jog did it require more than a quick glance.
The reason I got this watch was the strength training aspect. The idea of having something monitor your rest period really intrigued me. I have to say, it seemed to work as well as one could hope. You can create workout programs through Polar's website, although the site is still clearly geared toward runners. They have a very limited number of pre-set lifting exercises; however, it is extremely easy to create your own on the site.
The watch works extremely well while using it for cardio. It works with the cardio equipment at my gym. It also breaks your rate into three different zones and makes it very easy to see which zone you are in.
Synching the watch with the computer is very easy. It comes with a USB device that allows you to synch easily.
The watch fits really well, although I have a slight issue getting the watch off due to the clasp. It's not a big deal, but I do feel that could have been designed better. The watch looks good enough to wear in casual situations.
I'll try to update this review as I use it more; I just wanted to get a review up here. I was trying to gather as much information on this watch as I could, and I was struggling to find any reviews on the web. So far, I'd recommend getting this watch if you want to use it for cross training. You may want to see it in person if you are concerned about the screen's brightness.
Polar FT80 Best Deal.
this is like the best monitor device i have ever seen, this thing works incredible, i would recommend it to everyone.
