Does it route your time in zones to polarpersonaltrainer.com? I don't have Flowlink and add the information manually, but can't record training zones.

Yes. After uploading my sessions- you can see how long I was in each zone. I just have to click on each session to see.

Hello Bruce, I had the Nike+ Sportswatch GPS and needed a HRM to go with it. I just checked the Product Description here on Amazon and found the following: "Polar WearLink+ transmitter Nike+ picks up your heart's signals and transfers that data into the Nike+ system. The soft fabric chest strap seamlessly adapts to your body shape, bringing full freedom of movement to your training. With its hook mechanism, transmitter is just as quick to put on as it is to take off.Transfers heart rate information while swimming with products which support 5kHz transmission** FT1, FT2, FT4, FT7, FT40, FT60, FT80, RS100, RS300X, RS400, RCX5, CS100, CS200, CS300" so I guess it does work with the CS300

TrainingPeaks does that for you via their standard software or the Timex Ironman branded version I prefer. It's a simple procedure and you can see your main metrics and a map etc with elevation etc etc. It's all there. I am sure you can use other software too as you can export the data. I use other watch brands with training Peaks by simply importing the data files into a date in Training Peaks. Again all very easy to do.

I do not know, but I do know that the heart rate band connects to all of the fitness machines at my fitness club. The machines are set to recognize Polaris products.

Since 30,000 + courses are already in memory you don't have to worry. But I'd strongly suggest you go with another type like the Busnell watch GPS. I GAVE UP ON MY Skycaddi watch. Supposed to be free lifetime use but they make you go on their website to register ea year and it's so cumbersome I cud never get connected at all. It's sitting in a drawer now useless. This is a common theme with this watch. Go elsewhere not here.

I do water aerobics 3 hours/week with my Loop and I have no problems. It is one of the few all-day activity trackers that you can swim with. However, the Loop will not accurately track swimming activity such as laps, strokes, etc. It estimates all activity as "steps" and my experience in the pool is that the Loop underestimates your steps and calories to some degree. The only way to accurately measure your calories is to use a heart rate monitor. However, Bluetooth Smart does not transmit in water so you can't use the Loop and H7 even though they are both waterproof for swimming.

Yes, I signed up again in August and it has been working with my NordicTrack treadmill. I am not racing or using other pieces of the program so can't evaluate them, abd I haven't made my maps since the update, but for just the computer/treadmil/google earth piece it has been working fine.

I read the Customer Comments first before purchasing and I gambled on it. After getting the watch I also read very carefully of the instruction and I tried not to set ALL immediately and I only set the Time Zone first. Since it is radio controlled so I let the radio to set the time for me. I think it was about an hour or two later the watch set the hands automatically. On the day to Fall Back I did not turn the hands either, instead, I waited until almost 3 a.m. Sunday the radio automatically set the proper time and I did not have to do anything. I really don't remember everything I did, but the "rule" I followed was not to touch on ALL these buttons. Most of us are rather impatient and we want to know it all immediately. When I realized that the Alarm was set at 3 a.m. by the factory I did not rush to change it until I had time to read the instruction and I did just that little. I'm just guessing: If you, Anita, live on the West Coast, why not set your Time Zone to, say, East Coast Time Zone for one day and watch the hands readjust to the East Coast TZ, then a day later change to the Pacific Time Zone and let the radio to adjust the time but don't expect to see the change promptly. Good luck, we have to help each other in this Internet Era Economy. baoedong@yahoo.com

I don't know anything about Polar Loop but I pair it with my Polar Beat app and it works great.

I've used it for both activities, and it was pretty accurate. However, the battery life sucks....It died 2 months ago (I bought it in May 2014). Changed the battery, and it still doesn't work. But I have a Smart Health HRM without a chest strap (wrist only) and it had the EXACT same readings as the Polar.

By purchasing this device, you know that it's the only way to get data off for your particular polar series. That said, propriety is the magic word. I know of just the site (polarpersonal...). From that site, other trackers can pull, like map my run. Hope this helps.

I do not have it at the location I am working from this week but I am pretty sure mine turns to a couple of milimeters no more than 5 milimerters from 60. I've never actually checked to see if the time is 60 minutes or not. We use it to stay on track in 45 minute sessions.

You will need to attach the Polar device on your chest for monitoring your heart rate. It can only store one memory and will overwrite once you start the next exercise. No GPS, no able to transfer the date to your computer. Hope it helps.

My Polar FT80 came from the factory with the Flowlink included in the box. It was not a separate package. I can't of course verify that every vendor sells the FT80 packaged this way. I would think the sales blurb has something like "What's in the box."

I use the Polar HRM with the Wahoo speed and cadence, it works with all the iPhone apps I've tried it with so far. The HRM is independent of the speed/cadence.

If you program it so the zones are timed to come on the same day,but a several minutes apart ( I put 5 minutes between ending one zone and starting the next one) it will run without needing to manually start each zone.

Hi Poly, I am still getting it up and running but pretty certain that it in itself only measures HR. But why it does that is handy for us who love using our smart phones for strava etc is it will translate all the ANT+ from my garmin tools (Cadence/speed sensor, Power Metre, foot pod) into a bluetooth 4.0 signal for your smart phone to read. Some of these are more or less effective on different Apps, Viii own app will receive and show all this information but for instance Strava won't show reading from the power meter. As i said its still new to me but overall Im happy with it. I looked at DCRainmakers review of the product before buying it and he goes very in depth if you want more info. Cheers
