The RS800CX is seen in the heavy athletic training. When watching the Olympics this year, could not help noticing that almost all wore ski skiing or biathlon this watch with its large face give a detailed database performance in real time. The portal of my training for the training would prove a Chevrolet comparing a Lamborghini. In other words, how an athlete can use every day, every RS800CX has to offer? I think so ... left to dig

One of the most impressive features of the RS800CX is your overall impression of comfort. It is a lightweight, ergonomic design, which is not built to succeed in creating a scandal during the activity. I have this vision of skiing, running, trail running, road cycling and mountain biking and have not been heard heavy or bulky. Its light weight and simply disappear.

For more than eight months, this watch every day as my traditional clock and moderate style fits well with casual clothes. Now, an athlete known for casual wear. Some people feel strange, but I had no problem contributing day-in/out. The only drawback to their use for regular use is that the display area default "home" a-matrix with a huge, almost half of the screen with the logo of trafficking POLAR. There is no way that also creates a user to change his image, but they can not fulfill the training data that the area of the screen to the online mode (a type of blade and the main disadvantage of clock).

Initial training requires the acquisition of all the features you want to use. For my test, I heart rhythm and WearLink G3 GPS. Find the device is very simple - do whatever you need to do is activate the GPS for the training, you want the GPS and wait 15-20 seconds to acquire the signal. Once acquired, each unit is represented by a small icon on the screen, you know, it works.

Runway RS800CX many important indicators for their education. For me, one of the main reasons for the clock's ability to regulate the speed of data remotely, with changes in altitude can be compared. For all of my activities increase the typical size / descent plays an important role in the overall training time and, sometimes, it is important to raise awareness of the races.

Although I have used hundreds of times during the workout at my watch, the value of the latter was most evident during the race Ragnar Wasatch back to where I need it for me help maintain a reasonable pace for the long term. Personally, I would like to know my distance learning, but on race day, I go to my rhythm of my heart beat so that the distance was not so important. I found the GPS in my first step, therefore, without the latter two can not confirm that my personal preference for the needs of GPS real career.

With all the data on your device, or a screen as big as this device can not be seen, taken all at once. You can have multiple screens that you scroll through a simple click of a button. were the training mode, I heard there are few data were missing and most obvious was the decline. You can increase, but the decline throughout the month of March. After the training, but not for the activities available - I guess that sacrifices must be made somewhere and that seems to be one of them.

After training, you can see gobs of data, and upload the data to your PC via ProTrainer 5 (included) for later analysis. This brings us to another big mistake ... no support for Mac is to use the polar carrier for Mac PolarPersonalTrainer.com not yet been made compatible with the device (a total nuisance.) I'm an old PC and download data from my training was through the Infrared device found but it takes forever and the connection is problematic. I provided summaries of fine watchmaking, but if you're a serious athlete, you want to familiarize themselves with the polar training software for creating training and analysis and administration.

The beauty of this device for serious athletes, the possibility of creating joint training sessions and then sent to the device. This is an obvious function for Olympic athletes or serious training. While training hard for competitions and events, my training is a little freer and not all regulated. I'm fine and the clock to track my progress, and although not a member of my workouts .

Bad RS800CX

* Start / Stop is easy to push around (rate lock is very useful)
* Read an altimeter / barometer can be seen in the type of activities
* The rate of descent is not visible during the year - rising only
* The group is a little drive on the biological clock and can break if you fill in a confined space (as hand luggage ... Yes, it happened to me)

In short: Polar RS800CX Multi

With this type of watch, the chances of a long list of positive and negative aspects. While the performance of supply RS800CX hard-core brand for PC compatibility missed only other complaints are really minor problems (realistic).
