The smartest way to better fitness, the Polar FT60 men's heart rate monitor watch helps you stay motivated plus improve your conditioning. The FT60 works by first checking your daily condition, plus then guiding you to the ideal training intensity for your age plus 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 plus 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, plus 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, plus Polar OwnCal modes. The ZonePointer is an audible plus 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 plus weekly exercise goals in terms of calorie expenditure, helping you achieve both short-term plus 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 plus maximum heart rate, calorie expenditure, distance, plus total exercise time, plus 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; plus a Polar FlowLink connection for transferring data between the FT60 plus a computer.

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, plus personal trainers worldwide plus 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.

Polar FT60 Men's Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Black with Red Display) Reviews
| 35 of 36 people found the following review helpful  Great Monitor, hard to see display, By Pioneer B (Minnesota US) - See all my reviews This review is from: Polar FT60 Men's Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Black with Red Display) (Sports) I have mixed feelings about this product right now. The functionality is excellent with this monitor. It does everything as well as or better than my previous two Polar heart Rate Monitors (both F11's).My complaint is the red background. If you workout outside it's great plus I'd give this a full 5/5 rating. Unfortunately I work out in group fitness classes plus the display is hard to read sometimes. The red background is great in direct light plus OK in moderate light. In very low light the light function works great. It's the "in between" low light conditions that are sometimes difficult to read. If you workout in moderately low light conditions, get the white background not the red. The display may look nice in the pictures but it's hard to read without good lighting plus the "light" function only works when the space is dark enough. In retrospect I would have preferred to have gone with the regular background for visibility during my workouts though. 18 of 21 people found the following review helpful  Cant get fixed, By This review is from: Polar FT60 Men's Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Black with Red Display) (Sports) October 2011. Polar never did responded to the BBB's. The BBB entered comments into the companies file plus closed the issue. Polar did send me a replacement watch (black / white) that works but drains the battery every couple months. They didn't ask for the red / black watch back (that doesn't burn up batteries). I really am amazed by the lack of response from Polar. From the times when Polar Service kept sending me back the defective watch (plus not fixing it) to no response to formal complaints. I'm still not happy with how they got me to buy other straps / wearlinks when the watch was bad. Buyer Beware. Warranties worthless at Polar.April 2011. Complaint still in dispute with the new york better business bureau. The bbb contacted me to see if polar had contacted me; Nope. The bbb said polar didn't respond to their inquires. Polar did receive the hrm I shipped to them (see march update). They returned it with a paper noting that the hrm is defective. I can not...

I use a HRM at least once a day for over 10 years now. This is probably my 6th hrm (I had to return a couple). I also collect watches.I've found that Polar seems to be the only company that makes hrm's that give me consistent readouts, as opposed to I'm jogging plus getting a reading of 250 bpm. The hrm's seems to last a year or so, then quit receiving or something. Changing batteries helps sometimes for a bit, but I always know when it is almost time for a new one. They usually look goofy plus you have to pay $140+ to get ones that do the personal training stuff I like. This model appealed to me because it looked very different plus even now, I'll wear this watch as a sport watch. It is kind of retro-funky, almost Russian-made or something. I definitely have nothing else like it. It works just like the other models I've appreciated, like the F11 plus looks a lot better. The bad news: It is just like the other... Read more |
