Product Review – Polar RCX5 RUN.

This HRM is thinner and lighter than it’s rivals that means it’s far less bulky on the wrist, it is waterproof and very sturdy for off road and trail runs. It’s very easy to set up straight out of the box. The stride sensor and footpod gives very good accuracy, I have used the watch on numerous training runs and each the time the stride sensor was spot on giving consistent training routes.

The watch records a vast amount of data that can be interpreted and manipulated easily with the Polar online training tools. Your performance can be monitored and tracked which enables the user to create training targets.
