Polar Wearlink

Find out more about the Polar Wearlink transmitter and other heart rate monitor accessories for your health and fitness needs.

The Polar Wearlink coded transmitter is  a chest strap that you wrap around your upper body and is worn underneath your clothing. The transmitter that is housed within the strap has contact with your body and measures your heart rate as you exercise and workout. Your heart rate data is then transferred to your HRM wrist watch where its computer calculates and displays the readings that may include running time, average pedaling rate and pace and distance.

The Polar company are considered innovators in HRM transmitter technology equipment and are constantly developing innovative solutions and products. Their Wearlink technology has come along way to when they were quite uncomfortable to wear and their heart rate readings were not very consistent as was found with the earlier Polar F11 Wearlink models. Today the brand has developed cardio transmitters that are more accurate, comfortable to wear and meet the high standards of athletes and keep fit enthusiasts. For example, Polar Wearlink 31 design has a chest strap that is made from expandable fabric that moves with the motions of the body during exercises. The electrode transmitters are sewn into the fabric of the chest strap which makes it feel more comfortable as if you were not wearing anything. If you are taking part in various outdoor sports that include skiing, tennis, dancing or aerobics the soft fabric will eliminate chaffing which was common in the older models.

A problem with many heart rate monitors is the interference of other HRM's transmitters that can disrupt the transmission of data to your watch. However the technology used within the polar Wearlink 31 coded transmitter blocks these unwanted signals to ensure there is no disturbance in the transferring of data.

The chest strap is attached and removed with a simple click of the fastening mechanism. The strap can actually be removed and washed in the washing machine. The polar Wearlink 31 coded transmitter has been built to take plenty of punishment and should last you a good couple of years. The coded transmitter sensor has a battery that can be easily changed and replaced by yourself. The battery has a good life span and will last you up to two years if you use it for up to ten hours each week. 

If you want to see your heart rate on your mobile you now can with the Polar Bluetooth Wearlink heart rate belt. This belt uses the Bluetooth wireless technology to transfer your HR data such as your average heart rate and timing spent in your target zones direct to your cell phone. You can utilize Polar's electronic  coaching software to translate your  performance training data in to detailed visual graphs that you can download onto your personal phone and share it with family and friends all over the world.
