Polar FT7 Heart Rate Monitor

The Polar FT7 heart rate monitor measures the heart rate with very comfortable chest strap. Since the strap is textile and elastic, it adjusts to the wearer. The communication between the attached WearLink+ transmitter and the wrist unit is wireless and coded, so the interference from other devices is prevented. The EnergyPointer feature makes adjusting the workout intensity and tracking progress a lot easier. Monitoring progress can be also done after finishing the workout, since the FT7 is able to store up to 99 training data and summaries. They can also be uploaded to the computer via FlowLink device (not included, sold separately).  This allows keeping personal training diary, planning and optimising the future workouts. The FT7 helps adjust the training to user’s current by analysing the heart rate, which is displayed as percentage of maximum  heart rate or bpm. It helps the user stay in the right target zone by alarming when the zone is exceeded of the heart rate falls below the bottom limit for a given zone. The Heart Touch function allows changing the display without touching the buttons. It needs to be brought near the transmitter and the displayed information will change. Additionally the FT7 can be used as a regular wrist watch, since it displays time, date and day of week.
