Ltd summary :
Polar RS800CX
After
a day's playing around with the RS800CX we could find and set most
of the features we needed for basic training. It's a sophistcated HRM so we are afraid
you will need to read the manual to get the most out of it. VIEW THE MANUAL - Polar RS800CX online manual here
What is the Polar RS800CX N ? It is the new range of CHROME finished Polar RS800CX heart rate monitors complete with G3 GPS, S3 Stride Sensor and WIND Bike Speed sensors
It does everything that the older RS800/SD/G3 models did, plus : ability to support WIND bike sensors providing : optional pedal cadence (revs per min) and bike speed (supplied with BIKE version) functionality PLUS Route Tracking via the G3 GPS sensor (supplied with MULTI version). The Polar RS800CX also provides the user with R-R interval recording, improved IR communication, new WIND Wearlink DIGITAL belt working at 2.4GHz (will not interface with gym equipment)
PRIORITY SENSORS : The Polar RS800CX allows the S3 (stride) and CS (bike speed and cadence) sensors to dominate over the GPS when used together. They will provide running / pedal leg cadence data plus speed and distance date from the S3 stride / Bike sensors while, at the same time, logging GPS track points for review of track on Google Earth or similar later ..... if you are using the GPS and it loses the signal from one of the other sensors GPS speed will automatically kick in after two minutes.

Polar RS800CX N RUN
Polar RS800CX N BIKE
Polar RS800CX N Multi
So, we had the Polar RS800CX BIKE - RS800CX RUN and RS800CX MULTI... and now we've got Polar RS800CX "N" versions - basically they are the 2010 versions of the previous models finished in an attractive CHROME finish ~ previously reserved for Limited Edition Team models.
Click here for the FULL range of Polar RS800CX models
These Polar RS800CX N models are the new, all singing, all dancing multisport heart rate monitor from Polar. The only feature it does NOT support is the Polar Power sensor, for this you will need the CYCLISTS dedicated Polar CS600. Quick change training zones, clearer identification
of current HR intensity and improved crosstalk prevention to avoid unwanted interference.
The Polar RS800CX N is also available in 5 configurations: Polar RS800CX N RUN (with S3 stride sensor) / Polar RS800CX N BIKE (with WIND speed sensor) / Polar RS800CX N MULTI (with G3 GPS) / Polar RS800CX N MultiSport (G5) or without any SPEED sensors at all - Polar RS800CX N (sensors can be added later)

- Automatic age-based target zone - bpm / % / % HRR
To help you train safely and effectively, the training computer determines your heart rate target zone limits automatically according to your age-based maximum heart rate (220 minus age). The limits are determined either in beats per minute (bpm), as a percentage (%) of your maximum heart rate, or as a heart rate reserve (% HRR). See also Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and Manual target zone.
- Average and maximum heart rate of each lap
- Average, minimum and maximum heart rate of training
- Heart rate – bpm / % / % HRR
Heart rate is the measurement of the work your heart does. Heart rate can be expressed as the number of beats per minute or as percentage of your maximum heart rate. Heart rate can also be expressed as a percentage of your heart rate reserve, meaning the difference between your resting heart rate and maximum heart rate (HRR = HRmax - HRrest). In Polar software or during strength training, heart rate can be displayed as a graphical trend.
- HR-based target zones with visual and audible alarm
You can define your target zones for a training session based on heart rate to help define the right intensity. When you are out of the preset zones, the training computer will give a visual and audible alarm.
- HRmax (age-based)
The highest number of heart beats per minute (bpm) during maximum physical exertion. For a rough estimate of your maximum heart rate, subtract your age from 220. HRmax is a useful tool for determining the intensity of training as intensity zones can be defined using HRmax. Some Polar products define maximum heart rate during the Polar Fitness Test, see also HRmax (Polar Fitness Test -based).
- HRmax (Polar Fitness test-based)
Some Polar products predict your HRmax simultaneously with the Polar Fitness Test. This predicted HRmax value is more accurate than the age-based formula (220 minus age).
- HRmax (user set)
- Manual target zone – bpm / % / % HRR
This feature enables you to define the target zone as you want and is suitable for your training. You can set the target zone for your training as beats per minute (bpm), as a percentage of your maximum heart rate, or as a percentage of your heart rate reserve (HRR%).
- Polar Fitness Test
Polar Fitness Test measures your aerobic fitness at rest in just five minutes. The result, Polar OwnIndex, evaluates your maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). With the Polar Fitness Test you can measure your aerobic fitness by yourself, automatically and without any exertion. All you need is your training computer. The Polar Fitness Test is as accurate in predicting the VO2max as any sub maximal fitness test. The test is based on heart rate and heart rate variability at rest and personal information.
- Polar OwnCal® – calorie expenditure with altimeter calibration
Polar OwnCal calculates the number of kilocalories expended during training. This feature allows you to follow the kilocalories expended during one training session and cumulative kilocalories expended during several training sessions. Some Polar products also estimate the fat-burning percentage (fat% on display), that is, kilocalories expended from fat during a workout which is expressed as a percentage of the total kilocalories burned.
- Polar OwnCode® (2.4 GHz W.I.N.D.) – coded transmission
Coded heart rate transmission automatically locks in a code to transmit your heart rate to the training computer. The training computer picks up your heart rate from your transmitter only. Coding significantly reduces interference from other training computers. The 2.4 GHz W.I.N.D transmission is disturbance-free from other electronic devices.
- Polar OwnOptimizer – personal training status
Polar OwnOptimizer feature is an easy and reliable test to determine whether your training is optimally developing your performance. OwnOptimizer helps you to optimize your training load during a training program so that you experience an increase in performance and do not undertrain or overtrain in the long run. Based on the test, you are provided with a scale and description of your personal training status.
- Polar OwnZone® – personal heart rate zone
Polar OwnZone® determines your personal heart rate limits for a training session. Depending on the day and time, your physical state may vary, for instance, if you are stressed or tired, or if you are not fully recovered from your latest training session, Polar can determine that information from your heart rate and guide you to your ideal training zone for that moment.
- Polar sport zones
Polar sport zones provide an easy way to select and monitor the intensity of your training and to follow sport zones based training programs. Training is divided into five zones based on percentages of your maximum heart rate: very light (50-60%HRmax), light (60-70%HRmax), moderate (70-80%HRmax), hard (80-90%HRmax) and maximum (90-100%HRmax).
- R-R Intervals / Online HR Variability
R-R Intervals / Online HR Variability feature measures your heartbeat intervals and reflects autonomic nervous system activity in heart beat regulation. The R-R interval measurement is most useful at rest and at low intensities. Relaxation rate indicates the state of your physical recovery.
- Bike settings – for two bicycles
You can define settings up to two to three bikes in your training computer. When you start training, you can select the bike with the correct settings for that particular training session.
- Cadence – current, average and maximum
Your cycling cadence stands for your pedaling rate in revolutions per minute (rpm). Cadence is the central factor in improving cycling performance. A higher cadence reduces the force needed for each pedal stroke, and thus improves overall performance. Running cadence measures how many times your either right or left foot hits the ground in one minute. Running cadence is measured as steps per minute. With this feature you can sharpen your cadence and make your ground contact time shorter. This will help you to find a balance between leg power and leg speed.
- Cadence-based target zones with visual and audible alarm
You can define your target zones for a training session based on cadence. When you are out of the preset zones, the training computer will inform you with a visual and audible alarm.
- Cycling Limits
This feature is useful for maintaining a certain level of intensity in your training. You can set upper and lower limits for heart rate, cadence, speed or power output. The training computer gives audible and visual alarms if your cycling rate goes out of the preset range.
- Autostart/stop
By activating Autostart/autostop feature, the cycling computer starts and stops training recording automatically when you start or stop pedaling.
- Bike settings – for two bicycles
You can define settings up to two to three bikes in your training computer. When you start training, you can select the bike with the correct settings for that particular training session.
- Cycling Limits
This feature is useful for maintaining a certain level of intensity in your training. You can set upper and lower limits for heart rate, cadence, speed or power output. The training computer gives audible and visual alarms if your cycling rate goes out of the preset range.
- Distance based interval
- Distance based recovery measurement
- Distance – training, lap, trip and total
Distance (km, mi) can be set and measured in several ways. Training distance tells you the distance traveled during a training session. Trip distance tells you the distance from the latest trip reset. Lap distance tells you the distance of one lap. Total distance is the distance accumulated since the last reset. Odometer tells you the cumulative distance which you cannot reset.
- Incline Measurement
Incline measurement tells you the uphill or downhill inclination in numerical form, helping you to adjust cycling effort accordingly. The feature shows you the uphill/downhill steepness in percentages and grades.
- Speed – current, average and maximum
- Speed-based target zones with visual and audible alarm
You can define your target zones for a training session based on speed. When you are out of the preset zones, the training computer will give a visual and audible alarm.
- SpeedPointer
SpeedPointer feature tells you your speed within set speed limits.
- Compatible with Polar ProTrainer 5 software – opt. with IrDA USB Adapter
- Compatible with polarpersonaltrainer.com – opt. with IrDA USB Adapter
- Cycling Limits
This feature is useful for maintaining a certain level of intensity in your training. You can set upper and lower limits for heart rate, cadence, speed or power output. The training computer gives audible and visual alarms if your cycling rate goes out of the preset range.
- Distance based interval
- Distance based recovery measurement
- Distance – training, lap, trip and total
Distance (km, mi) can be set and measured in several ways. Training distance tells you the distance traveled during a training session. Trip distance tells you the distance from the latest trip reset. Lap distance tells you the distance of one lap. Total distance is the distance accumulated since the last reset. Odometer tells you the cumulative distance which you cannot reset.
- Incline Measurement
Incline measurement tells you the uphill or downhill inclination in numerical form, helping you to adjust cycling effort accordingly. The feature shows you the uphill/downhill steepness in percentages and grades.
- Route mapping – opt. with ProTrainer 5 software
Your training computer stores your route data during training with GPS sensor and enables you to download route information to computer after the training session. Routes are shown in ProTrainer 5 software and can also be easily exported to other mapping and positioning software such as Google Earth.
- Running Index
Running Index is based on heart rate and speed data measured during the run. It gives daily information about your performance level, both aerobic fitness and running economy. Improvement in running efficiency indicates improved economy of running performance.
- Speed-based target zones with visual and audible alarm
You can define your target zones for a training session based on speed. When you are out of the preset zones, the training computer will give a visual and audible alarm.
- Speed/Pace – current, average and maximum
Speed (km/h or mi/h) is measured with GPS, footpod, stride sensor or cycling speed sensor. Pace (expressed as min/km or min/mile) stands for the rate of speed. Pace is usually used in running. By setting a target pace, you can follow how fast you need to run in order to reach a certain distance in a predefined time.
- SpeedPointer
SpeedPointer feature tells you your speed within set speed limits.
- Adjustable recording rate – 1s, 2s, 5s, 15s, or 60s
The samples of your heart rate, speed, cycling cadence, power and altitude are stored either in 1, 2, 5, 15 or 60 second intervals. A longer interval gives you more recording time, while a shorter interval allows you to record more detailed data. A shorter recording rate uses the memory of the training computer up more rapidly, but enables more accurate data analysis using Polar software.
- Combined training files
This feature allows combining consecutive training sessions. When you start a new training session within an hour of the previous one, you can combine the new session with the previous one.
- Memory left indication
- R-R Recording
R-R recording rate saves heartbeat intervals, that is, intervals between successive heartbeats. This information is also shown as instantaneous heart rate in beats per minute in recorded samples. This enables the analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) using the ProTrainer 5 software with an accuracy of 1 ms.
- Totals
Totals includes your training data starting from the last reset enabling you to follow your long-term training.
- Training files (with summaries) – 99
- Weekly history
Weekly history gathers your weekly training data. By selecting a week, you can review your training data for the week.
- Average stride length
Stride length is the average length of one step, that is, the distance between your right and left foot contacting the ground. Runners adjust stride length to gather speed: stride length increases as speed increases. Yet one of the most common mistakes novice runners make is over-striding. The most efficient stride length is the natural one – the one that feels most comfortable.
- Cadence – current, average and maximum
Your cycling cadence stands for your pedaling rate in revolutions per minute (rpm). Cadence is the central factor in improving cycling performance. A higher cadence reduces the force needed for each pedal stroke, and thus improves overall performance. Running cadence measures how many times your either right or left foot hits the ground in one minute. Running cadence is measured as steps per minute. With this feature you can sharpen your cadence and make your ground contact time shorter. This will help you to find a balance between leg power and leg speed.
- Distance – training, lap, trip and total
Distance (km, mi) can be set and measured in several ways. Training distance tells you the distance traveled during a training session. Trip distance tells you the distance from the latest trip reset. Lap distance tells you the distance of one lap. Total distance is the distance accumulated since the last reset. Odometer tells you the cumulative distance which you cannot reset.
- Running Index
Running Index is based on heart rate and speed data measured during the run. It gives daily information about your performance level, both aerobic fitness and running economy. Improvement in running efficiency indicates improved economy of running performance.
- Shoe selection – settings for three shoes
Shoe selection feature allows you to select shoes for a particular sensor in your training computer and to follow your training distance for the particular pair of shoes.
- Speed/Pace – current, average and maximum
Speed (km/h or mi/h) is measured with GPS, footpod, stride sensor or cycling speed sensor. Pace (expressed as min/km or min/mile) stands for the rate of speed. Pace is usually used in running. By setting a target pace, you can follow how fast you need to run in order to reach a certain distance in a predefined time.
- Speed/Pace-based target zones with visual and audible alarm
You can define your target zones for a training session based on speed. When you are out of the preset zones, the training computer will give a visual and audible alarm.
- Automatic lap recording

Polar RS800CX PRESS RELEASE : Polar has launched Polar RS800CX training computer which comes with GPS route mapping and multisensor compatibility. RS800CX is designed specifically for competitive and endurance athletes in multiple different sports. With the latest running, cycling and multisport accessories and advanced features, it is the most sophisticated training computer to exist. RS800CX is truly fulfilling the technical, aesthetic and ergonomic needs and desires of the most demanding high-performance athletes.
With its rugged GPS sensor, the RS800CX can record positioning information, which can be transferred to the Polar ProTrainer 5TM and can be viewed on Google Earth or any common GPS mapping software. Multisensor compatibility, for its part, makes RS800CX able to receive information from each of its optional sensors to record a wide range of performance details. In addition, the user can combine training files from different sports and view the total training data.
With the wide-ranging and unrivalled features of ProTrainer 5TM, RS800CX is the perfect solution for the most uncompromising athletes looking for an accurate way to measure, plan, monitor and analyze their training. On sale through authorized Polar retailers from September 2008, the RS800CX will be available in running, cycling and multisport sets. RS800CX is compatible with s3 stride sensorTM W.I.N.D., G3 GPS sensor W.I.N.D., CS speed sensorTM W.I.N.D., and CS cadence sensorTM W.I.N.D.
It keeps the S3 and CS sensors as dominant over the GPS when used together....if you are using the GPS and it loses the signal from one of the other sensors GPS speed will automatically kick in after two minutes.
When changing from footpod to bike sensor the Polar RS800CX automatically changes pace/MPH view.
If you are starting a new exercise within an hour of the last one it gives you the option to "combine"......if someone wanted to swim, bike,run for instance!
