Editors review
The Polar RS800CX RUN including the foot pod allows the serious runner to keep a constant and accurate feedback on speed, pace, stride etc to enhance their training to the very best levels. The RS800CX Run not only provides all the feedback on training zones, average rates during training, theoretical calorie burn, personalised training settings, and recovery / fitness testing, it also synchronises with the Polar ProTrainer 5⢠software for guidance, analysis and creating individual training settings. This adds a completely distinctive and unique product designed to get you the very best results from the very beginning. The highly sensitive barometric altitude sensor shows your elevation profiles to allow you to accurately gauge exertion performance, and then the Polar RS800CX RUN can then determine if your training program and recovery time are optimally developing your performance

RS800... buy a garmin or Sunnto.
Have had this monitor for just over 1 year, so far its been back to Polar 4 times to be repaired and has just failed again,(1 week after the warranty has expired!!). As a watch and heart rate monitor you cant fault it (when its working) however for measuring distance its hopeless. Ive calibrated the foot pod pod on countless occasions, ran 1Km round the track and calibrated it, straight after this ran the same 1Km on the same track this time it measures 1.1Km. 0.1 of a Km may not sound a lot however this 0.1 varied between 0.1 & 0.3. Ive now given up totally and am looking at purchasing a Garmin or Sunnto.
