Polar Ft80 Heart Rate Monitor (Black With White Display) Reviews

Surprised by negative reviews, November 1, 2011 Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Polar Ft80 Heart Rate Monitor (Black With White Display) (Sports) I have been using the Polar FT80 for several weeks now. I almost did not buy it due to the negative reviews, but I have been pleased with the unit. It was not difficult to program and heart rate reading is +/- 1 or 2 beats from that of the treadmill reading. One particular feature I like is the weekly message, either congratulating me for meeting my goal or telling me I had an "incomplete" week. I also like the 3 zone heart rate display. My trainer has been impressed with the unit and is considering purchasing one for himself. It has more features than I will probably ever use, and a simpler and less expensive unit would have been adequate for my needs. Still, I like it.

Not as good as expected at this price, March 25, 2011 By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Polar Ft80 Heart Rate Monitor (Black With White Display) (Sports) Getting the workouts from the web page into the watch is not straight forward and *if* there is a video tutorial on the website then it is not easy to find. I think that the web site is inferior to the Windows application that I used before with my older polaris product, in fact the web site is more advertising and less a training tool. If I could download the information inside of the watch directly into a windows app or one of the cellphone/pda apps that I previously used with Polaris monitors that would be an improvement.
Althought there are a couple of good ideas in this product without the windows app the watch is more fluff than anything else. Polaris is no longer the only game in town and you should shop around before you purchase one of these units.
