Polar CS600X Heart Rate Monitor
Polar CS600X
The Polar CS600X Heart Rate Monitor utilizes various sensors to collect its data. In addition to the basic heart rate sensor, which is attached to the chest, this device also comes with the Power W.I.N.D sensor. This sensor, which tracks data such as speed, distance, and cadence, is attached to a shoelace. While the sensors are wireless and unobtrusive, they do take time to set up and use properly. Polar also encourages users to purchase the Polar CS600X Heart Rate Monitor alongside the GPS sensor accessory, which can provide information related to routes and destination. Though this information can be useful, the GPS sensor must be purchased separately, adding to the cost of the device.
It is also possible to view workouts with an eye toward fitness and energy expenditure through the Polar functions OwnCal and OwnIndex Fitness Test. These functions look at the intensity of a workout and can show how many calories are being burned during a given session. This can be helpful for those cyclists looking to improve their performance and health through intensity training.
