The fitness test will check your heart rate for 5 minutes and then provides you a baseline number. At that point you can choose to create a program that will either allow you to maintain, advance or even maximize your fitness level. As you progress through your program, when you reach 80% of your goal, it will display a trophy to celebrate your achievements.

Additionally the watch will synchronize with a variety of exercise equipment, which allows you some flexibility with monitoring and not having to look at the watch all the time.
Once you’ve completed your exercise routine, you can connect the watch to your computer and download the data into Polar’s software. The software will help you analyze your workouts and continue to reach your goals. Using their online diary you can easily review your progress, how hard you worked out and it helps you to plan out a schedule.
