The heart of your training: Polar RS800CX Heart Rate Monitor Watch

At the heart of your training lies the RS800CX wrist unit.

With the ability to record a wide range of performance details, the Polar RS800CX Heart Rate Monitor Watch works with the WearLink+ transmitter W.I.N.D. to provide you with the most accurate measurement of your heart rate.

At the most basic level, the RS800CX is compatible with all W.I.N.D. sensors, so you can create and build on your training system to keep up with all your training challenges - now and in the future.
