Polar RCX3 Run Heart Rate Monitor Watch

The Polar RCX3 Run Heart Rate Monitor Watch is an excellent choice for recreational and aspirational runners who are either training towards an event or want to make progress in their fitness and will be helped by using an HRM which will give the real-time data, the ability to record activity details over a period of time and the bonus of motivational responses to their efforts.

Although the Polar RCX3 Run Heart Rate Monitor Watch is a relatively small HRM watch unit compared to some, it still has a big display area and makes good use of it to offer three rows of clearly readable data. Nominally, the black version of the RCX3 is the men's version and the white one is the women's model. The watches themselves are identical apart from the colour and the fact the black strap is wider the white strap is thicker than its counterpart.

The display can be specified to show you the information you want during a particular training session. For example, you might want to display average speed of a current run, the time of day and the current lap time and they are each identified with word labels or straightforward graphics.

People new to training watches of this calibre may well choose to use only the most basic functions at first. This is sensible but by taking the time to read through and try out the many further functions of the Polar RCX3 Run Heart Rate Monitor Watch, you will then be able to decide which are of value to them and take them onboard as well.

In particular, it would be worth exploring the Polarpersonaltrainer.com website which allows you to upload your activity data via your computer to have it saved as a running diary of your fitness programme and to see such data displayed in graphical form, for example.
