Sports reviews of Polar FT60 Women's Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Purple)
Customer Review: Awesome!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I absolutely love my Polar FT60! This is actually my first and only HRM (Heart Rate Monitor), so I can only give you my opinions from this one item. I do love it though!
I am a 22 year old female whom is slightly overweight and got this to help me maximize my workouts and help motivate me! I can say it has done its job!! It really helps motivate me because I am one of those people who like to keep track of everything. If you have tried calorie counting and deficits, it is super hard on your own, but by using sites like it makes it much easier! I'm not advertising caloriecount, but it is the same thing with this HRM and Polar's website [...]/ you can easily input all your data from your watch into the website and keep track with so much ease! It makes me not want to miss a workout day at all otherwise I have a big blank spot on my page :P
PROS:
-Easy to use!
No complicated sequences of buttons to push to get to the next menu or to set the clock. When I was looking into which HRM to buy many people were aggravated by having to hold down two buttons then press another to set something or go through menus. That's just ridiculous!
-Chest Strap
While some people would prefer not to have a chest strap while working out the strap is comfortable enough to forget about it. It helps accurately track your HR and calorie rather than those which you have to hold your thumb to or similar ones where you have to stop what your doing to get your HR.
-Backlight
I like the backlight, and is quite helpful in dark situations :P (doesn't stay on for too long... maybe like 2-3 secs at a time)
-HeartTouch
HeartTouch is a function that is when you bring the watch close to the chest strap it will beep once and show you the time briefly so you can easily see the time without going through menus.
-Zone Lock
Zones are basically different levels of your heart rate which are categorized in pretty much an (easy) causal walking HR, a (medium) light jogging HR, or (hard) running HR. Now zone lock is where you can hold on the center button on the right to lock whichever zone you want to be in and the watch will beep telling you that you are not in your zone.
-Weekly Goals
Depending on what weekly goal you put into the HRM for example, if you want to lose weight, gain fitness, or perhaps exceed in fitness it will tell you to spend more time in certain zones rather than others. If you want to lose weight it will tell you to stay in a particular low or med. zone longer for the week rather than high. You are able to change what your goal is whenever you decide.
-Weekly Tracking
I'm not too sure how many weeks it will hold up to or how much memory it has, but after the whole month I've been using it I can see all of my information that has been stored on it. It will let you know to work harder or train less in a particular HR zone based on your goal.
-Waterproof (30m)
The watch, strap, and monitor are all waterproof, and does not seem to be damaged(30m it claims). In the handbook I believe it said not to use the buttons so much in the water to prevent water getting into the machine. I took it into the ocean and toyed around with it. It does not particularly work well as it cannot read the signals through the water medium, so the watch will constantly say it is disconnected (ONLY tried in ocean salt water, NOT tried in chlorine pool). MORE INFO IN CONS
-Compatiable Attachments
You can buy the pedometer, cycling attachment, or GPS attachment to go with the HRM for more distance or more accurate readings. There may or may not be more attachments that I don't know of.
-Comfortable
As I said before the chest strap is comfortable enough to forget about having it on, but the watch itself is also very comfortable and adjustable. There are also different straps you can buy if it is not comfortable for you specifically. There are also different sizes you can get if it doesn't fit you.
-Washable
The strap is easily washable, just remove the attachment of the strap and rinse/wash in the sink.
-Compatiable
Works with [...] You can buy the transmitter, but I don't think it is worth the extra $40 and hastle (I've read it is not that great). Anyone can easily input the data into the website and it only takes a minute.
-MY FAVORITE!!!! PRO!!!
It works with the gym equipment at 24 Hour Fitness (not sure what brands they are), but NEVER will I ever have to hold my hand on those semi-inaccurate and bacteria filled HR handle bars again!
It makes working out at the gym soooooo easy. I can always see my heart rate posted on the machines and I don't have to look at my watch unless I want to check out something other than my HR!
CONS:
-NO Stopwatch
It does not have a stopwatch... I don't really understand why it wouldn't have a stop watch, but it doesn't. Regardless that wasn't a deal breaker for me, so I bought it anyway and still love it. I can do time math in my head, so not a big deal.
-Waterproof (30m)
As I stated it is waterproof, HOWEVER it does not work well because it cannot send the signal from the watch to the strap through the water. If you are training for some sort of marathon that requires you to be on foot and then in water it's perfect. You do not need to spend time removing it from your body. If you are trying to record your HR in the water, this HRM is NOT going to work for you. You can however pop out of the water with both the watch and monitor above the water and receive a reading after a few seconds, but in all honestly it will kind of mess up your statistics in accurate calories and average HR and max. HR.(ONLY tried in ocean salt water, NOT tried in chlorine pool). FOR MORE INFO IN PROS
-Calorie/HR Menus
Can't see calories and HR at same time. You have to scroll to a different menu to see it. Hardly a big deal, but convienence.
-Losing pieces
I hope you're not like me, but I tend to lose the piece that attaches to the chest strap from time to time :( I can be unorganized so it makes sense. I recommend putting it in the same place everyday. The piece that attaches to the strap is about 2 1/2'' long 1 1/4'' high and 1/2'' wide, and I CONSTANTLY MISPLACE IT. I'm always looking for it.
Description of Polar FT60 Women's Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Purple)
Helps improve fitness and keeps users motivated with the new Polar STAR training program, which adapts to the user's personal exercise habits, providing weekly feedback and updated goalsThe smartest way to better fitness, the Polar FT60 women's heart rate monitor watch helps you stay motivated and improve your conditioning. The FT60 works by first checking your daily condition, and then guiding you to the ideal training intensity for your age and fitness level. Knowing your heart rate not only helps you reach your personal fitness goal, but also improves your physical condition in general, as it's vitally important to train at the appropriate intensity level. If you exercise too hard, you may quit before you reach the real benefit, but if you work out too leisurely, you'll struggle to lose weight at all. The FT60 helps overcome these problems by encouraging you to map out a complete fitness routine.
The FT60 is packed with innovative training features to help you toward your exercise goals. First off, the watch includes a Polar Star personalized training program that adapts to your workout habits. By giving you weekly training targets and providing constant feedback, the watch guides you without being too strict, helping you reach your goals more efficiently. The watch also displays heart rate info in several ways, including as a percentage of your maximum heart rate, as beats per minute, and within a graphical target zone indicator. And should your heart rate exceed or dip below your target zone, the FT60 will sound an alarm that helps you return to form.
Users will also love the variety of proprietary Polar functions, including ZonePointer, Polar OwnZone, and Polar OwnCal modes. The ZonePointer is an audible and visual feature on the display of your FT60 that shows you where your current heart rate sits within your target heart rate zone. The Polar OwnZone mode, meanwhile, provides a customized target zone for individual exercise sessions. Finally, the Polar OwnCal mode shows your energy expenditure during one exercise session, as well as your accumulated kilocalories during several exercise sessions. You can also set daily and weekly exercise goals in terms of calorie expenditure, helping you achieve both short-term and long-term goals.
Other features include support for the G1 GPS sensor (sold separately); a built-in fitness test that measures your aerobic fitness at rest in just five minutes; a ZoneLock mode that lets you activate a target zone in the midst of training with the press of a button; an OwnCode mode that prevents crosstalk from other heart rate monitors nearby; a recording mode that tracks your average and maximum heart rate, calorie expenditure, distance, and total exercise time, and then puts it in an exercise file (with 100 total files); water resistance to 30 meters; a 12/24-hour clock with a day/week indicator; a built-in backlight; an alarm with a snooze; a low battery indicator; and a Polar FlowLink connection for transferring data between the FT60 and a computer. Sporting an attractive purple housing, the watch carries a two-year warranty.
Manufacturer's Warranty
The original purchaser of this heart rate monitor is backed by a limited warranty that states that this product that the product will be free from defects in material or workmanship for two years from the date of purchase.
About Polar
The first EKG accurate wireless heart rate monitor was invented by Polar back in 1977 as a training tool for the Finnish National Cross Country Ski Team. The concept of "intensity training" by heart rate swept the athletic world in the eighties. By the 1990s, individuals were looking to heart rate monitors not only for performance training needs, but also for achieving everyday fitness goals. Today, the same concept of heart rate training is being used by world-class athletes as well as everyday people trying to lose weight. Polar is the leading brand among consumers, coaches, and personal trainers worldwide and the company is committed to not only producing the best products, but also being the leading educator on the benefits of heart rate based exercise.
