BHIP
Ltd summary. Highly recommended
for the serious runner. Most of these functions are only of use
to a runner with a structured training programme. Multiple HR zones,
time based interval sessions. Long term training diary held in the
watch and uploaded to Polar Fitness website www.polarpersonaltrainer.com.
Excellent value for money, as it includes the Polar Wearlink chest
strap
After
a day's playing around with the RS200 we could find and set most
of the features we needed . It's a sophistacted HRM so we are afraid
you will need to read the manual to get the most out of it.
These
units are smaller than the Polar S610i / S625x and will fit most
wrist sizes except very petite. The plastics used on the RS series
is better and softer than that on the F series.
Next
model up is the Polar RS200SD,
same functions as this one PLUS the Polar S1 foot pod giving running
speed and distance. The foot pod united can be added later if
you wish to upgrade.
User
is able to manage an online training diary on Polar's own fitness
training website. Summary data is stored per session, i.e max,
min, time in zones, distance etc. It is not a full time versus
heart rate graph like you get with the S625x or S610i and it is
NOT downloaded to your local PC. Visit www.polar.fi for details.
Download interface is a standard PC microphone and soundcard,
not supplied.

the heart rate monitor set your training zone for you. This is generally
about 65-85% of Max HR. The training zone is determined by the watch
following a 5 minute walking / jogging test. You may choose to accept
this zone or use your own manually prescribed one or one of the
5 Polar Zones.

OwnCal - calorie expenditure

split stopwatch with 1/100 second resolution. This is useful
when doing interval work, fartleks, or running a distance marked
race and wish to collect and then recall mile / km times. When the
user presses lap, the display of the Polar RS200 freezes for a few
seconds and shows lap time, average HR and lap number, it then moves
on to split time (total elapsed time since start). The display then
reverts back to user selected options.
- Flexible
Display : The Polar RS200 has a flexible display and allows
the user to view the data that is most important to them, i.e. Calories,
Total Time, Lap Time and Heart Rate.
- File Recall
: The Polar RS200 creates a "file" for each session
over 1 minute. The training file contains the following information.Date
and start time, duration of exercise, average heart rate (in bpm
or %), maximum heart rate (bpm or %), training zone(s) applied,
time in this zone(s), time above the zone(s) and time below zone(s).
Total calories burnt during session. A bargraph of time spent in
the 5 x Polar Sports Zones with total time spent in each of the
5 zones.
- Laps / Splits
:If the lap function has been pressed the Polar RS 200 will also
recall number of laps, best lap time, lap time with average heart
rate and heart rate at end of lap. Number
of laps, average lap time, best lap time, average and max HR per
lap, end heart rate of each lap, lap number, split time, average
pace of lap....
- Long term
files : The Polar RS200 also has a week view memory file and
a total view file option. The weekly view gives calories burnt,
duration of exercise, time spent in different Polar Sports Zones.
The Totals gives total duration, total calories, total exercise
count. You can reset these whenever you wish.
- Intervals
: The Polar RS200 has a 3 segment interval trainer. You may choose
to use 1, 2 or all 3 segments. The segments autorepeat one after
another if required. An example would be 10 mins in HR Zone 1, 6
mins in Zone 2 then 2 mins in Zone 3, then repeat
- Foot
Pod - You can add the Polar S1 foot pod to the Polar RS200
at anytime to give it FULL RS200SD functionality
