It never fails, if there’s a button to push I’m going to break it.
A computer. A television. A radio. My Blackberry.
I’ve come to the conclusion that there’s some constant electric shock in my body that automatically causes this to happen. Imagination aside, I’m a tech trasher. I often amaze my husband at my ability to freeze the simplest of technologies. Who freezes a television while changing channels? This girl.
For some time now I’ve been wanting to try out a Polar watch and heart monitor to maximize my work outs, needless to say my non-tech savvy has delayed my purchase of this watch. Even after receiving one as a gift from my hubby, it sat on our dresser for about a week.
Once I broke into the packaging, I was excited to give it a test run. I admit I still need to read the guide book, so here’s to learning side by side with me.
Why I Like It:
My Polar FT7 is a new extension of the Polar collection at less than $120, giving you more bang for your buck.
The chest straps are not awkward and fit extremely comfortably, to the point where I don’t even know they are there. The ECG sensor is removable, so the strap can easily be washed.
This monitor watch can save up to 16 weeks worth of training.
And..
It’s user friendly, whew (as I wipe the sweat beads off my forehead)! The set-up sequence takes only 5 minutes at the most to enter all of your personal data (height, weight, birthdate).
When in training mode, this watch allows you to move between displays show you can see heartbeat numbers, calories burned, date and time. It also gives you a heads up to let you know if you are in the fat loss or conditioning zones.
What better way to learn how to work this amazing piece of technology? A video.
