Polar RC3 GPS in Fitness Tech

Attention, this device does not work with the H7 Bluetooth chest strap. It's also a great device with Polar's online training software making it even better. Polar really upped their game and their products are better than ever.

Pros
  • Includes the new GPS function "Return to Start", which takes the shortest route back to your starting point.
Cons
  • Damaged

Corner button covers break and/or fall off. .

Corner button covers break and/or fall off. This makes it difficult to implement. In addition, the circular display can hardly be heard even at high volume. GPS struggles in certain spots, which I didn't expect as it's a direct satellite.

Pros
  • Records your speed, distance and route using the latest GPS technology (SiRFstar IV)
Cons
  • No performance

Almost perfect for training and fitness

I delivered them to Singapore and they are for my Runs used so far the distance is relatively accurate and I will be updating the software to include the altitude feature on my watch at Polar Singapore. Now with the altitude it gets even better! Battery life is good so far, I only charged once it's been almost 20 days and the battery still shows a full bar.

Pros
  • Unique Polar Smart Coaching features like Running Index and Learning Benefit analyze your run and take your training to the next level (requires optional H2 heart rate sensor)
Cons
  • Crumpled
