The Polar FT80 GPS watch with white screen display adds a whole new dimension to Polar's best ever strength training watch and that is
screen visibility for outdoor use. This Polar FT80 has now become the ultimate cross-training partner by increasing the versatility of the
watch substantially over its black screen predecessor, plus you get all the great heart rate monitor features of a Polar.
Coupled with the G1 GPS sensor this Polar heart rate monitor becomes the ultimate training weapon with incredible heart rate data, download capabilities,
the training software and all the speed and distance measurements required to take your training to the next level.
The much heralded Polar strength training watch program and Polar STAR training program have already made this watch a proven performer in the gym and for
strength training. Now with combined speed and distance metrics it will be tremendous for running, cycling, rollerblading, cross-country skiing, hiking,
kayaking and more.
This opens the Polar FT80 GPS watch to a whole new audience of users that are serious about their strength training but really like to get after it aerobically
outdoors a few days each week. The old Polar FT80 with the black face was awesome for gym workouts but the black screen with white letters didn't cut the
mustard outside and the new white screen with black letters totally eliminates this problem.
Now athletes participating in running, cycling, cross-country skiing, rollerblading and other sports are going to actually enjoy this heart monitor
for excellent feedback on aerobic sports.
Here is a complete list of the awesome features:
Overall body measurements:
-Automated age-based specific zone bpm / %
In order to train correctly and effectively, the training computer establishes your pulse rate target zone boundaries on auto-pilot according to your age-dependent maximum pulse rate (220 minus age). The actual limitations are generally established either with beats each minute (bpm), as being a proportion (%) of one's maximum heart rate, or being a heart rate reserve (% HRR).
- Average and also maximum pulse rate of your practice
- Heart rate bpm / % / graphical trend line (in Weight training Instruction function)
Heart rate is the measurement for the work your own cardiovascular system really does. Pulse rate can be depicted as the number of heart beats per minute or just as percentage of your maximum heart rate. Heart rate can also be expressed being a percentage of your own heart rate reserve, which means the visible difference between your resting pulse rate and maximum heart rate. Utilizing the Polar FT80 pulse rate may be viewable as a visual trend.
- HR-dependent target zones with graphic and audible alarm
You are able to define your target heart rate zones for a training session based on heart rate to help you define the right level. If you are out of your preset zones, the Polar FT80 GPS Watch will give a visible as well as audible notification.
- HRmax (user defined)
- Manually operated target zone in beats per minute or a percentage of maximum
This particular feature enables you to determine the target zone as you want and is ideal for your training. You can set the target zone for your training as heart beats each minute (bpm), being a percent of one's max heart rate, or being a percent of your respective heart rate reserve.
- Polar Physical Fitness Test
Polar Fitness Exam determines your own personal aerobic conditioning at rest in exactly 5 minutes. The result, Polar Own Index, evaluates your own personal maximum oxygen uptake. With this Polar Physical Fitness Exam you are able to calculate your actual cardio fitness by yourself, conveniently and with virtually no effort. You just need your own Polar FT80. The entire Polar Conditioning Test can be as accurate in predicting the VO2max as any sub maximal conditioning test. The test is dependent on pulse rate as well as pulse rate fluctuation at rest and personal particulars.
- Polar Own Cal caloric burn with fat percent
Polar Own Cal calculates the sheer number of kilo calories used up during exercise. This function allows you to follow the calories burned during a single workout and cumulative calories expended throughout multiple training sessions. Selected Polar models also look at the fat-burning off percentage (fat% on display), that is, calories consumed directly from extra fat during a workout which is depicted as percent of the total calories burned.
- Polar (5khz) coded transmission
Numbered pulse rate transmission automatically seals in a code to transmit your pulse rate to the training computer. The actual FT80 picks up your heart rate from your very own transmitter solely. Code eliminates interference hailing from other training computers.
- Polar Relaxation test
Polar Own Relax test is a feature that tells quickly and easily just how relaxed your own body is considered to be. By carrying out a five-minute relaxation session, your actual heart rate and additionally heart rate variation will be measured. Own Relax helps to observe along with improve total health. Each relaxation routine can be carried out anywhere, at any time, lying down, or even sitting in a relaxed manner with out any talking or outside interference.
- Polar personal heart rate specific zones
Polar Own Zone determines your personal pulse rate maximum for a workout. Depending on the day and time, your own physical condition can vary, for example, if you are stressed or tired, or if you find yourself not completely recuperated from your most recent training session, Polar will detect such important information from your very own heart rate and direct you towards your optimal exercise zone for that moment.
- Polar STAR Training Program
This particular flexible and customized Polar STAR Training Program can help you obtain your training targets. The actual training program creates weekly goals, including intensity along with duration, for your work out. The Polar STAR Training Program is dependent on your own level of fitness, exercise phase, work out goal and also individual information.
- Polar Strength Guided training
Polar Weight Training Supervision helps you to optimize your actual weight training by analyzing your pulse rate along with telling you when your body's completely ready for the next set. FT80 guides you for how long to relax between each set to achieve the optimal influence. You are able to transfer a maximum of 3 weight training workouts to your FT80 directly from Polar Personal Trainer software

G1 GPS sensor functions
- Mileage training and total
Length (km, mi) can be set along with calculated in several ways. Training extended distance notifies you the length covered during a workout.
