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, distance,
HR or 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 and the Polar F1 foot pod.
After
a day's playing around with the RS200SD 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
down is the Polar RS200, same functions
as this one MINUS the Polar S1 foot pod omitting the running speed
and distance functions... £60 less.
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
Polar RS200 and the Polar RS200SD are the same watch. The RS200SD
comes WITH the Polar S1 foot pod,
the Polar RS200 does NOT, but it can be added later to give the unit
FULL RS200SD functionality.

Polar Zones.

OwnCal - calorie expenditure

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.

view the data that is most important to them, i.e. Calories, Total
Time, Lap Time, Pace, Speed, Distance and Heart Rate.

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. Maximum and average speed/pace and
total distance. 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 200SD 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, maximum speed of lap.....
- Long term
files : The Polar RS200SD also has a week view memory file and
a total view file option. The weekly view gives calories burnt, km/miles
ran, duration of exercise, time spent in different Polar Sports Zones.
The Totals gives total duration, total calories, total exercise count,
total distance. You can reset these whenever you wish.
- Intervals
: The Polar RS200SD has a 3 segment interval trainer. These segments
can be either, distance based or time based. 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, or 1 mile at Zone 1, 0.5 miles
at Zone 2 then repeat.
