Polar FT60 Excellent Product.

Polar FT60 Excellent Product.
The FT60 is Excellent product with great features. My primary uses for it are: tennis, gym workouts, and daily walks.

I upgraded from a Polar F11 and am glad I did...more features and useful options. For example, its both MAC & pc compatible. I also like the ability to be able toggle to the time/watch feature during a workout and its Polar STAR Training Program capabilities.

Additionally, I highly recommend the FlowLink & S1 Foot Pod accessories. The FlowLink is far superior and more dependable (compared to the F11's sonic transmission) for uploading data. The S1 Footpod allows the user to view his/her pace during a walk/run and, when the data is uploaded to Polar's Personal Trainer program, it automatically includes the distance traveled, average speed, and maximum speed. All nice features/accessories.

The things that could improve this product (and S1 Foot Pod accessory), and results in my rating of a 4 instead of 5, would be: 1) integrated pedometer feature (via S1 Foot Pod?), 2) Polar ProTrainer 5 compatibility, and 3) lower, "bundled price" when buying the FT60 with the FlowLink and/or S1 Foot Pod. Paying over $325 for all three is hard to justify (although I admittedly did).
