Product Description
FT60M Black Monitor Watch

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

Manufacturer's Warranty
The original purchaser of this heart rate monitor is backed by a limited warranty that states that this product that the product will be free from defects in material or workmanship for two years from the date of purchase.

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, and personal trainers worldwide and 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.

4 out of 5 stars FT60 / FlowLink / S1 Foot Pod   July 25, 2010
Big_Mike
The FT60 is Excellent product with great features. My primary uses for it are: tennis, gym workouts, and daily walks.

I upgraded from a Polar F11 and am glad I did...more features and useful options. For example, its both MAC & pc compatible. I also like the ability to be able toggle to the time/watch feature during a workout and its Polar STAR Training Program capabilities.

Additionally, I highly recommend the FlowLink & S1 Foot Pod accessories. The FlowLink is far superior and more dependable (compared to the F11's sonic transmission) for uploading data. The S1 Footpod allows the user to view his/her pace during a walk/run and, when the data is uploaded to Polar's Personal Trainer program, it automatically includes the distance traveled, average speed, and maximum speed. All nice features/accessories.

The things that could improve this product (and S1 Foot Pod accessory), and results in my rating of a 4 instead of 5, would be: 1) integrated pedometer feature (via S1 Foot Pod?), 2) Polar ProTrainer 5 compatibility, and 3) lower, "bundled price" when buying the FT60 with the FlowLink and/or S1 Foot Pod. Paying over $325 for all three is hard to justify (although I admittedly did).



3 out of 5 stars great for heart monitoring, cheap construction   April 3, 2010

The Polar FT60 is a great heart rate monitor and has some excellent features. It will auto adjust a program for you based on your exercise habits and track your progress. My biggest qualm with the product is that after owning it for only a few months, the wrist strap broke. Something so simple rendered the watch almost completely useless.


5 out of 5 stars Great buy to improve training.   March 30, 2010

I got two of these, one for my Dad and the other one for myself, I started looking for a HR monitor about two months ago, when I realized that the training I had been doing and the way it was done was not the "correct" way for me, with this HR, set up takes about 10min the first time, it ask for your age, weight and height then you NEED to calibrate the clock so that it knows your rested HR and it can calculate what your training zones are. Once I did this and set up a training program its been working perfectly for the past 2 months, We train together everyday and never had any interference issues.

The HR will tell you exactly in which zone are you and how many minutes you need to exercise in the zones depending on what program you choose (weight loss, improve performance etc...), it does this by day and week total, it also keeps tracks of the previous training results so you can monitor it as well, This is my doctor favorite feature since he can take the watch and check all the trainings I have done and what was my HR.

Our model is the one with White display and Blue lights. The white display works great is light and low light situations, When you use the blue light its perfect, just the right amount of glow and makes everything readable in no light situations.



5 out of 5 stars FT60 Works Well   March 20, 2010

I've had my FT60 for about two months now and it works flawlessly. I bought it to help me monitor my heart rate when I exercise following a heart attack several months ago. Once you figure out the menu in the book, it's pretty easy to use. The HR display is easy to read when I work out; and, the three zone readings, though I thought a bit quirky at first, are actually pretty helpful for me in keeping my HR in the HR zone I want (and not exceeding my maximum).

Relatively easy to read (even without my glasses). What I really like is the capability to replace the battery in either the watch or the transmitter.



5 out of 5 stars just works   February 28, 2010
Kurt A. Zoglmann (Manhattan, KS USA)
I use this watch nearly every day of the week during cardio. I really have no complaints. In general, it just works. Once in a while it will lose track of my heart beat. It makes a particular sound so you'll know when it happens. I usually just pull the band sideways slightly so it makes a better or different contact with my skin. This seems to happen more if you don't follow the instructions about washing the band. Salt seemingly builds up in the band and likely is effectively how easy it is to follow your heart rate. This seems to happen even if you rinse the band after each workout. Wash the band in a laundry bag with your workout clothes and you'll be happy. :)
