Exercise: Polar Fitness Test™ with OwnIndex®
A fitness test that measures your aerobic fitness at rest in just five minutes. The result, Polar OwnIndex, predicts your maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max ). With the Polar Fitness Test you can measure your aerobic fitness by yourself, automatically and without any exertion. No other equipment other than a heart rate monitor is needed. The Polar Fitness Test is as accurate in predicting the VO2max as any submaximal fitness test. The test is based on gender, age, height, body weight, level of physical activity, heart rate and heart rate variability at rest. The result, OwnIndex, ranges usually from 20 to 95 and is comparable to VO2max, the golden standard of aerobic fitness. OwnIndex is most meaningful when following changes in your fitness over a long period of time. Find out how fit you are for your age and gender by comparing your result to the global references listed in the Polar user manuals.

Exercise: OwnCal®
Counts and displays calorie expenditure. The Polar OwnCal feature shows your energy expenditure during one training session as well as your accumulated kilocalories during several training sessions. You can set daily and weekly training goals in terms of calorie expenditure with the OwnCal feature. Because the OwnCal tracks both the energy expenditure during one training session and the accumulated kilocalories during a longer time e.g. one week, it helps in achieving both short term and long term goals.
Exercise: Polar OwnCode® ((5kHz)
Prevents cross-talk from other heart rate monitors. As more and more people use heart rate monitors today, preventing cross talk from other devices in group situations at the gym or when jogging with a friend becomes essential. The unique coded technology blocks unwanted signals from other heart rate monitors, ensuring disturbance-free transmission of your heart rate data.
Exercise: Polar OwnZone®
Determines personal heart rate limits for an exercise session. The Polar OwnZone (OZ) feature determines an individual exercise zone. It guides you through an appropriate warm-up routine and automatically determines a safe and effective exercise heart rate zone - your OwnZone - while taking into account your current physical condition. Polar Heart Rate Monitors use multiple methods for determining your OwnZone. The primary method is to measure your heart rate variability during the warm-up period before exercising. If the measurement is not successful, your latest saved OwnZone limits are used. If there are no previous limits in the memory, the Polar Heart Rate Monitor will automatically calculate OwnZone limits based on your age-predicted maximum heart rate (220 minus age). You should determine your OwnZone at the beginning of your workout whenever you change exercise environment and/or exercise mode or if your mental state changes when feeling stressed, for instance. The OwnZone Basic corresponds to 65-85 % of the maximum heart rate. Exercise at the lower end of this intensity level can be conducted for extended periods safely and often yields the best results for weight control, while exercise at the upper end of this intensity produces the best results for improving cardiovascular (aerobic) fitness. The OwnZone Advanced feature consists of two training areas: OwnZone Low and OwnZone High, providing greater variations in exercising than the OwnZone Basic area, which can be rather wide for more focused training.

The OwnZone Light corresponds to 60-70% of your maximum heart rate. This intensity still feels fairly easy for most people. It helps in weight control and improves endurance and cardiovascular fitness.

The OwnZone Moderate corresponds to 70-80% of your maximum heart rate. This intensity is especially good for people who are exercising regularly. Exercising in this zone is particularly effective for improving cardiovascular fitness.

The OwnZone Hard corresponds to 80-90% of maximum heart rate. You will find yourself breathing heavily, having tired muscles and feeling fatigued. This intensity is recommended occasionally for fit people.

The OwnZone Weight corresponds to about 60-75% of your maximum heart rate. The OwnZone Weight is ideal for weight loss exercise for less fit individuals and for those recovering from sickness or intensive training.
Exercise: 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. The 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).
Exercise: Speed-based target zones with visual and audible alarm - OPTIONAL with G1 GPS sensor (see accesories on this page)

Basic: Water resistant
50m
Polar products may be worn when swimming. They are not, however, diving instruments. To maintain water resistance, do not press the buttons of the product under water. When measuring heart rate in water, you may experience interference for the following reasons:
Pool water with high chlorine content, and seawater are very conductive. The electrodes of the transmitter may short-circuit, preventing ECG signals from being detected by the transmitter.
Jumping into water or strenuous muscle movement during competitive swimming may shift the transmitter to a location on the body where ECG signals cannot be picked up.
The ECG signal strength is individual and may vary depending on the individual’s tissue composition. Problems occur more frequently when measuring heart rate in water.

In the watch industry water resistance is generally indicated as meters of water pressure, which means static pressure of water at the level in question. Polar uses this same indication system. Water resistance of Polar products is tested according to International Standard ISO 2281. Every Polar device that has water resistance indication is tested before the delivery to stand water pressure.

Polar products are divided into three different categories according to their water resistance. Check the back of your Polar product for the water resistance category, and compare it to the chart below. Please note that these definitions do not necessarily apply to products of other manufacturers.

When performing any underwater activity, the dynamic pressure generated by moving in water is greater than the static pressure. This means that moving the product under water subjects it to a greater pressure than if the product were stationary.

When it says "water resistant" it means alright to be exposed to wash splashed, sweat, raindrops.
When it is a Polar Wearlink, and says "water resistant up to 30m" it means alright to be exposed to wash splashed, sweat, raindrops, bathing, swimming.
When it says " water resistant up to 50m" it means alright to be exposed to wash splashed, sweat, raindrops, bathing, swimming.
When it says "water resistant up to 100m" it means alright to be exposed to wash splashed, sweat, raindrops, bathing, swimming and skin diving with snorkel (no air tanks).
Basic: Two lines
Computer connectivity: Compatible with polarpersonaltrainer.com with Polar FlowLink (see accessories on this page)
Recording: Average heart rate
A figure expressed in beats per minute (bpm) representing the average heart rate measured over a specific period of time (e.g. a training session).
Recording: Calorie expenditure - exe.total
The feature in Polar Heart Rate Monitors calculating the number of kilocalories expended during exercise is called OwnCal. This function allows you to follow the kilocalories expended during one exercise session (exercise on display) and cumulative kilocalories expended during several exercise sessions (total on display). The fat-burning percentage (fat% on display) estimate kilocalories expended from fat during a workout and is expressed as a percentage of the total kilocalories burned.
Recording: Exercise Time (total)
The time you have trained with the stopwatch running. The Total Exercise Time feature keeps track of your cumulative training time since last resetting the counter. This feature gives you yet another way to set daily or weekly training goals for yourself.
Recording: Exercise file info page with date and time
Recording: Lap info
Recording: Last OwnIndex
Recording: Maximum heart rate
The highest number of heart beats per minute (bpm) during maximum physical exertion. The HRmax -p score predicts your individual maximum heart rate. The most accurate way of determining your individual HRmax is to perform a maximal exercise stress test in a laboratory. 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.
Recording: Number of exercise files (with summaries)
16 files - The number of exercise files stored in your heart rate monitor. An exercise file includes total exercise time, time in target zone and average heart rate.
Recording: Target zone limits
Recording: Time in target zone
The Time in Target Zone feature calculates the amount of total training time spent in your personal target zone. You can use this feature together with the Total Exercise Time to determine the effectiveness of your training program.
Watch: Alarm with snooze
Watch: Date and weekday indicator
Watch: Dual time zone
A feature that allows you to choose between two time zones.
Watch: Low battery indicator
