Body measurement features
  • Automatic age-based target zone – bpm / %

    To help you train safely and effectively, the training computer determines your heart rate target zone limits automatically according to your age-based maximum heart rate (220 minus age). The limits are determined either in beats per minute (bpm), as a percentage (%) of your maximum heart rate, or as a heart rate reserve (% HRR). See also Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and Manual target zone.

  • Average and maximum heart rate of training
  • Heart rate – bpm / %
    Heart rate is the measurement of the work your heart does. Heart rate can be expressed as the number of beats per minute (bpm) or as a percentage (%) of your maximum heart rate.
  • HR-based target zones with visual and audible alarm
    You can define your target zones for a training session based on heart rate to help define the right intensity. When you are out of the preset zones, the training computer will give a visual and audible alarm.
  • HRmax (user set)
  • Manual target zone – bpm / %
    This feature enables you to define the target zone as you want and is suitable for your training. You can set the target zone for your training as beats per minute (bpm), as a percentage of your maximum heart rate, or as a percentage of your heart rate reserve (HRR%).
  • Polar Fitness Test
    Polar Fitness Test measures your aerobic fitness at rest in just five minutes. The result, Polar OwnIndex, evaluates your maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). With the Polar Fitness Test you can measure your aerobic fitness by yourself, automatically and without any exertion. All you need is your training computer. The Polar Fitness Test is as accurate in predicting the VO2max as any sub maximal fitness test. The test is based on heart rate and heart rate variability at rest and personal information.
  • Polar OwnCal® – calorie expenditure with fat percentage
    Polar OwnCal calculates the number of kilocalories expended during training. This feature allows you to follow the kilocalories expended during one training session and cumulative kilocalories expended during several training sessions. Some Polar products also estimate the fat-burning percentage (fat% on display), that is, kilocalories expended from fat during a workout which is expressed as a percentage of the total kilocalories burned.
  • Polar OwnCode® (5kHz) – coded transmission
    Coded heart rate transmission automatically locks in a code to transmit your heart rate to the training computer. The training computer picks up your heart rate from your transmitter only. Coding prevents interference from other training computers.
  • Polar OwnZone® – personal heart rate zone
    Polar OwnZone® determines your personal heart rate limits for a training session. Depending on the day and time, your physical state may vary, for instance, if you are stressed or tired, or if you are not fully recovered from your latest training session, Polar can determine that information from your heart rate and guide you to your ideal training zone for that moment.
  • Polar STAR Training Program
    The adaptive and personalized Polar STAR Training Program helps you reach your training targets. The training program gives you weekly targets, including intensity and duration, for your training. The Polar STAR Training Program is based on your fitness level, activity level, training goal and personal information (weight, height, age and sex).
  • Training load – available via polarpersonaltrainer.com
    This feature is available in Polar software. When you transfer training results from your training computer to polarpersonaltrainer.com, you can follow your training load and recovery in the training diary. Continuous monitoring of training load and recovery will help you recognize personal limits, avoid over- or undertraining, and adjust training intensity and duration according to your daily and weekly targets

  • Distance – training and total
    Distance (km, mi) can be set and measured in several ways. Training distance tells you the distance traveled during a training session. Trip distance tells you the distance from the latest trip reset. Lap distance tells you the distance of one lap. Total distance is the distance accumulated since the last reset. Odometer tells you the cumulative distance which you cannot reset.
  • Speed/Pace – current, average and maximum
    Speed (km/h or mi/h) is measured with GPS, footpod, stride sensor or cycling speed sensor. Pace (expressed as min/km or min/mile) stands for the rate of speed. Pace is usually used in running. By setting a target pace, you can follow how fast you need to run in order to reach a certain distance in a predefined time.

User testimonials

›Polar makes gathering data easy -Bob A.

Love the FT60. use it in my spin class with 20+ people. Pick up of heart beat is almost immediate and NO CROSS TALK. Have the module that connect to the computer and that easy...Once you down load the software from the web site, restart the computer. When I am done with the spin class or my ride, I just set the 60 on the module and take my shower...the data is loaded and ready to be view. Love the FT60, software and Polar makes gathering data easy...This is easier than anything I have ever used. Buy it.

›Well worth the investment -Tim A

Bought the FT60 to improve my fitness. Through polarpersonaltrainer.com, I found I was training more than I should have been. I was actually advised via the FT60 to slow down my training in order to improve my fitness. In tandum with polarpersonaltrainer.com, I was able to map out my fitness routine and improve my fitness more easily that initally expected. With multiple modes for fitness, this monitor is indeed your own personal trainer. Well worth the investment in your goal to fitness improvement, weight loss or performance enhancement. Buy it...you'll love it!

›I bought the FT60 after researching -Katie B.

I am a fitness novice. Last summer, I bought the FT60 after researching various heart rate monitors - and I'm so glad that I did! I went from being inactive to working out consistently almost every morning. The fitness tools provided on this heart rate monitor ensure that I push myself. Also, the interface is excellent and very user-friendly, which definitely helped me! In addition to all of the above, I own the purple version, and the design is beautiful. Patients at work are always complimenting the design and asking for the model and manufacturer. Thanks, Polar!

›I highly recommend this HRM -Amy L.

I've been using my FT60 for about 4 months now, and I LOVE IT!! Never gives me any problems. Only time it doesn't track my workouts, is when I forget to activate it (doh! user error). Seems to be very accurate. And it really shows me that the caloric burn estimates on the machines at the gym are way off, almost all the time. Chest strap took a little getting used to, but it was a new thing strapped to my chest. Now that I'm used to it, it's VERY comfortable. I highly recommend this HRM.

›Helped me stay on target -Triana

LOVE, LOVE LOVE this one!!! I have been using it since October 2010 & it has really helped me stay on target. But my battery just went out today. :(
