Speed, Distance, and Heart Rate

For recreational athletes who require all essential heart rate and timing features.

· Helps you train at the right intensity with personal sport zones.

· The Polar Fitness test measures your aerobic fitness at rest and tells you your progress.

· Displays calories burned

Full Features

1. Body measurement features

· Automatic age-based target zone – bpm / %: 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 (bpm) or as a percentage (%) of your maximum heart rate. See also Manual target zone.

· Average and maximum heart rate of each lap

· Average and maximum heart rate of training

· Heart rate – bpm / %: Heart rate is the measurement of the work your heart does. Heart rate can be expressed as the number of beats per minute (bpm) or as a percentage (%) of your maximum heart rate.

· 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.

· HRmax (age-based): The highest number of heart beats per minute (bpm) during maximum physical exertion. For a rough estimate of your maximum heart rate, subtract your age from 220. HRmax is a useful tool for determining the intensity of training as intensity zones can be defined using HRmax. Some Polar products define maximum heart rate during the Polar Fitness Test, see also HRmax (Polar Fitness Test -based).

· HRmax (user set)

· Manual target zone – bpm / %: 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 (bpm) or as a percentage of your maximum heart rate.

· Polar Fitness Test: Polar Fitness Test measures your aerobic fitness at rest in just five minutes. The result, Polar OwnIndex, evaluates your maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). With the Polar Fitness Test you can measure your aerobic fitness by yourself, automatically and without any exertion. All you need is your training computer. The Polar Fitness Test is as accurate in predicting the VO2max as any sub maximal fitness test. The test is based on heart rate and heart rate variability at rest and personal information.

· Polar OwnCal® – calorie expenditure: Polar OwnCal calculates the number of kilocalories expended during training. This feature allows you to follow the kilocalories expended during one training session and cumulative kilocalories expended during several training sessions.

· 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.

· Polar OwnZone® – personal heart rate zone: Polar OwnZone® determines your personal heart rate limits for a training session. Depending on the day and time, your physical state may vary, for instance, if you are stressed or tired, or if you are not fully recovered from your latest training session, Polar can determine that information from your heart rate and guide you to your ideal training zone for that moment.

· Polar sport zones: Polar sport zones provide an easy way to select and monitor the intensity of your training and to follow sport zones based training programs. Training is divided into five zones based on percentages of your maximum heart rate: very light (50-60%HRmax), light (60-70%HRmax), moderate (70-80%HRmax), hard (80-90%HRmax) and maximum (90-100%HRmax).

· Training load – available via polarpersonaltrainer.com: This feature is available in Polar software. When you transfer training results from your training computer to polarpersonaltrainer.com, you can follow your training load and recovery in the training diary. Continuous monitoring of training load and recovery will help you recognize personal limits, avoid over- or undertraining, and adjust training intensity and duration according to your daily and weekly targets

2. Data transfer

· Compatible with Mac (Intel-based) via Polar FlowLink

· Compatible with PC via Polar FlowLink

· Compatible with polarpersonaltrainer.com via Polar FlowLink

3. G1 GPS sensor features (optional)

· Distance – training, lap, and total: Distance (km, mi) can be set and measured in several ways. Training distance tells you the distance traveled during a training session. Lap distance tells you the distance of one lap. Total distance is the distance accumulated since the last reset.

· Speed-based target zones with visual and audible alarm: You can define your target zones for a training session based on speed. When you are out of the preset zones, the training computer will give a visual and audible alarm.

· Speed/Pace – current, average and maximum: Speed (km/h or mi/h) is measured with GPS, footpod, stride sensor or cycling speed sensor. Pace (expressed as min/km or min/mile) stands for the rate of speed. Pace is usually used in running. By setting a target pace, you can follow how fast you need to run in order to reach a certain distance in a predefined time.

Ask the expert about Polar RS300X Heart Rate Monitor Black

Hi, Just wondering im looking to record calorie burn and heart rate during interval training then also record distance when running, does this watch have all features, it says optional on distance so i wasnt sure if i would need to buy something else to go with it? Thanks TanyaAsked by Tanya Whelan from MonasterevinDo you know the answer? Please let us know!1 Answers: Hello, You can record calorie burn and heart rate, but indeed, distance is optional, for this feature you need either GPS G1 or Foot sensor S1. So only when using one of those devices distance can be recorded. Wineke Answered by fitnessdigital.com

A little complicated at first but a good watch. My husband had his original one for a year, then battery died (have to send it to get battery replaced, a place in Wales does it) and he lost it shortly thereafter. But as it was a good reliable watch we ordered a replacement from FitnessDigital.

good heart monitor for runners

i'd say it's a good heart monitor if you are into cross training and running at the same time.

Great product great price and fast service. I was looking for a monitor that would give me constant feed back of my heart rate while training it at different zones. It does this to perfection stay away from cheap versions and spend the extra few euros it will be worth it.

Excellent HR monitor!

Wanted an HR monitor that displays time elapsed and HR at the same time - and this is the cheapest one. HR strap very comfortable and watch is easy to set up and use. Excellent value for money and next day delivery from Spain! Superb.
