RCX5 RUN Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Red)

The first completly new Running Watchand release coming from polar in nearly 2 years as arrived and it is called the POLAR RXC5 SD.

The RCX5 SD come with the polar's datalink transfer to download all your data to the computer and is compatible with the mac

New Wearlink Hybrid Strap Systems for Polar RCX5sd Run

Polar's newly developed Wearlink Hybrid chest strap will allow you to transmit at two different frequencies. This really is important because it's the very first Polar watch in history which allows you to definitely take advantage of two intelligibly different technologies. While swimming you can utilize 5 kHz to pick up heart rate while swimming, Nevertheless, Polar provides the only monitor systems that accumulates pulse rate details in the swimming since Suunto ended its Memory harness.

The actual Polar RCX5 transmitter in 2.4 MHZ mode can take advantage of Polar's W.I.N.D., which eliminates electric power transmission line and transformer interference that can interfere with data files of many heart rate monitors, specifically when jogging or even bicycling.

Five Heart Rate Zone Settings Offer Multi-Sport Choices

We generally explain to consumers, possessing five pre-programmed pulse rate zones is big. You may have various zones with regard to jogging, cycling, going swimming, or even some other physical activities. Additionally, it is nice to possess independent, specific zones for interval days, strength training days and straightforward aerobic workouts. Having the capacity to rapidly change in between zones at changeovers, specifically in triathlon or any other multi-sport activities is key for this running watch.

The New and Improved S3 Stride Sensor

The big news here is that the smaller S3 stride sensor comes with a new firm shoe attachment that guarantees highly accurate speed and distance measurement. Also like it's predecessor it looks at running cadence and stride length to provide advice on how to improve your running. This is what makes this running watch so valuable.

Polar made sure that irrespective of whether you had a Apple, or simply a PC, that the RCX5 could accommodate your workout data and training software demands.

Endurance Application, Zone Optimizer and Workout Load

Any RCX5 runs on the proactive coaching method that helps make goals, really helps to execute them and will help you modify the plan instantly. This specific blend of characteristics makes structured cardiovascular workouts very easy for anyone. Sports activities zones will be customized for each and every workout ensuring you will always exercise at the correct intensity with this running watch.

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, minimum 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 (Polar Fitness test-based)

Some Polar products predict your HRmax simultaneously with the Polar Fitness Test. This predicted HRmax value is more accurate than the age-based formula (220 minus age).

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 with fat percentage

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. This feature also estimates the fat-burning percentage (fat% on display), that is, kilocalories expended from fat during a workout which is expressed as a percentage of the total kilocalories burned.

Polar OwnCode (5kHz/2.4 GHz W.I.N.D.) - coded transmission

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). Polar ZoneOptimizer - personalized sport zones

ZoneOptimizer adjusts personal sport zones for every training session based on your current physiological condition. This feature gives you the right heart rate zones depending on your physiological state at that exact moment, making sure that the you are always training at the right intensity.

2 Years International warranty

The average battery life on a RCX5 is 11 Months based on the average usage of 1hr/day 7 days a week. Using GPS, Footpod, or cycling attachments may cause the battery to expire faster. We recommend buying spare batteries with your watch to save paying postage on them at a later date.
