The first new multi-sport performance GPS watch introduction coming from
Polar in over a year is called the Polar RCX5 G5. It is visually striking
and features a number of capabilities, including Polar's smallest GPS sensor
ever. We feel this particular GPS watch is a shoe-in for best multi-sport
product introduction for this year.
The actual RCX5 G5 includes Polar's Datalink USB device in all readily
available bundles, that is great because it means you simply won't have to cough
up any additional cash to exchange your workout information to training
application.
The Amazingly Small G5 GPS Sensor
We'll be the first to admit it, in the past people have been
reluctant to adopt Polar's GPS technology because of the size of the sensors. The
new sensor is about the size of a cell phone battery, smaller than the size of the
old G1 and G3 sensors.
Wearlink Hybrid Straps - The First Ever Dual Signal Transmission
Polar's recently developed Wearlink Hybrid strap will allow you to transmit
at two distinct wavelengths. This is crucial since it is the first Polar GPS
watch in history which allows you to definitely take advantage of two very
distinct solutions. While swimming you may use 5 kHz to receive heart rate while
swimming, even so the watch unit will need to be put into a swimming cap because
this watch is not waterproof. Still, Polar has the only monitor systems that
gathers heart rate data in the swim ever since Suunto discontinued its Memory
harness.
The actual Polar RCX5 G5 can also take complete advantage of Polar's
W.I.N.D., which inturn eliminates power transmission line as well as transformer
interference that could interfere with data files of many heart rate monitors,
specifically when jogging or even bicycling.
5 Heart Rate Zone Settings Offer Multi-Sport Choices
We always inform customers, having numerous pre-programmed heart rate
specific zones is huge. You might have different zones with regard to jogging,
bicycling, going swimming, or even several additional physical activities.
Additionally, it is awesome to possess independent specific zones for interval
days, lifting weights days and straightforward aerobic days. Having the capacity
to rapidly shift in between zones at changeovers, specifically in triathlon,
X-terra racing or any other multi-sport activities is essential.
Endurance System, Zone Optimizer and also Exercise Load
The actual RCX5 G5 runs on the active training program that creates
plans, really helps to execute all of them and definitely will help modify the
program automatically. This specific combination of characteristics tends to
make organized endurance workouts super easy for anyone. Sports activities areas
and specific zones will be tailored for each and every workout making sure you
consistently workout at the proper intensity.
Polar ensured that regardless of whether you possessed a Mac, or a Windows
System, that the RCX5 G5 could process your data and training software
requirements.
What You've Got To Like About Polar RCX5 G5
First off, a heart rate monitor strap that allows you to switch between
transmission signals and functions making it helpful for numerous competitive
sports. Additionally, we like the exercise load characteristic and also the
simple fact that this particular GPS watch includes a Datalink so you can
move files.
Even so, the genuine killer features would be the unprecedented advancement
within the new G5 GPS component, which is barely the dimensions of a mobile
phone battery - a small fraction of the size of Polar's earlier GPS devices.
Also, the advantage that the watch complements the S3 Stride sensor - it is the
best foot pod in the industry and contains a recently developed holder which
additionally improves accuracy and reliability. Finally, it works with all of
Polar's top-end W.I.N.D. devices for bicycling.
