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.
