Ltd summary - Polar RS800G3
The RS800G3 is simply a standard RS800 packaged WITH the Polar G3 GPS unit and a Polar USB IR interface for PC download. It's a sophistacted HRM so we are afraid
you will need to read the manual to get the most out of it. VIEW THE MANUAL - Polar RS800 online manual here - this is the generic RS800 manual so it includes info about the optional Polar S3 stride sensor
What is the Polar RS800 range ? It is basically a replacement to the ever popular S610i/S810i with additional GPS support
It does everything that those models did, plus : ability to support the Polar G£ GPS unit and the optional Polar S3 foot pod providing : running cadence (strides per min) and running stride length. The Polar RS800 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)
VIEW THE MANUAL - Polar RS800 online manual here - this is the best way to get a real feel for this highly technical product, so please browse it online at your leisure - PLEASE NOTE - the online manual covers all the RS800 range, so it mentions stride length etc - this is NOT a feature of this package - you need the Polar S3 stride sensor for this..
If you would rather have a foot pod based system that can provide RUNNING LEG CADENCE and STRIDE LENGTH, please consider the Polar RS800SD,
same functions as this - but NO GPS - instead the Polar S3 foot pod giving running
speed and distance. The foot pod unit can be added later if
you wish to
RS800 comes with Polar PPPSW version 5

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.
The user may also manage and maintain a heart rate training diary locally - on your home PC - using the supplied Polar software. The heart rate data is transferred using INFRA RED. The Polar RS800 and RS800SD comes with the very latest Polar Precision Performance software version 5

Polar RS800G3 - with GPS
IN STOCK - POLAR RS800G3 GPS
Heart Rate Monitor with GPS
This is end of line product of the very popular Polar RS800G3 with GPS. What's the difference between this and the new RS800CX MULTI? The RS800G3 will NOT download TRACK data to Google Earth or similar. The RS800 G3 will NOT support the Polar WIND bike speed / cadence sensor.
If you just want MULTI SPORT speed and distance while training outdoors - the Polar RS8000 G3 is the perfect partner...
Polar RS800G3 Heart
Rate Monitor - the previous top of the range Polar RS800G3 with GPS heart rate monitor has been specifically designed for ALL outdoor activities. It is just as at home with runners as it is with cyclists, sailors, horseriders, skiiers etc etc. All the benefits of the RS800 PLUS advanced WIND connected GPS for accurate speed and distance monitoring.
Quick change training zones, clearer identification
of current HR intensity and improved crosstalk prevention to avoid unwanted interference.
NOTE : The RS800G3 will NOT provide stride length and running leg cadence measurement. If you want that feature, you MUST use the Polar S3 stride sensor/foot pod unit.
In the opinion of the staff at BHIP Ltd, the RS800 was the most TECHNICALLY COMPETENT HRM for RUNNERS and SPORTS SCIENTISTS available on the market. It knocks spots off the previously succesful Polar S810i and Polar S625x. The GPS functionality now takes it to CROSS SPORTS users, triathletes, duathletes, sailors, hikers, etc etc.
