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.
