Polar RS800G3 Heart Rate Monitor

When you step up to the RS800G3 Heart Rate Monitor, you're getting the best Polar has to offer, plus GPS-enabled precision speed and distance tracking for multi-sport functionality. Lots of heart rate monitors and running watches can measure your speed—they use accelerometers to calculate your foot, arm, or body movement. But what if you're running a river in your ‘yak, flying down a mountain pass on your bike, skiing or snowboarding? The SiRF GPS technology in the Polar RS800G3 tracks you independently of your body motion, allowing you to ride, paddle, or pedal and still calculate how fast and far you're going. Not only that, the RS800G3 factors in tons of other info, like heart rate zones, altitude, ascent, descent, pace, elevation profiles, and more, all in comparison with each other and viewable on your computer for ultimate workout analysis.

Bottom Line: Get serious about your training with the GPS capabilities of the Polar RS800G3.

What comes with this package? Is there a place where I can find this information on the site. I have seen advertised both the RS800 and in other places I see it as the rs800cx is there a difference?

Without reviewing the GPS

This is certainly the top of the line for polar, no doubt at all about that, but I find the use of the watch extremely cumbersome, even when done on polar performace 5 and then transferred to your watch.

The screen on these is VERY soft. Contemplate hard on going to zagg.com or someplace similar to get scratch protective films made for it when you first buy it. Mine has a pair of huge obnoxious scratches on it from a car door.

The software does require some steep learning curves. You will have to manually delete a lot of heart rate spikes (there is a feature to do this; suffice it to say that a heart rate of 2000 actually does get recorded onto the watch.) Heart rate spikes are much more common than I expected.

The watch did help me in improving my fitness. For me, I will transition to a Suunto T6, and use Peak 2 Peak software instead, which is Mac compatible.
