Polar FT60 Heart Rate Monitor
Easy-to-use Training Watch
By Jason Mitchell
Ranked #98 - Heart Rate Monitors
February 4, 2009
If you're looking for an easy-to-use training watch, this is the one to choose. Out of the box, you can easily get up and running with HRM or GPS in no time. I figured out 90% of the functions without even referring to the manual--it's that easy. I really dig the training effect summary at the end of the workout. It scrolls through all your performance data and gives you a one-line synopsis of the training effect (fitness improving, maximal performance improving, overtraining, etc.).
The t4c from Suunto pales in comparison as far as ease-of-use. The FT60 is the one to beat.
