Most of the workout equipment at the gym are compatible with a polar heart rate monitor. Will this heart rate monitor work with that same workout equipment?

I am not sure. I have a limited experience with Gym equipment but as far as I understand, the communication between Polar HR and Gym equipment is done by a frequency that only Polar uses. It is not done by Bluetooth. The Viiiiva HR will communicate either through Smart Bluetooth or Ant+. Ant+ is use by Garmin and most other HR makers. If your Gym equipment can connect with Garmin HR sensors, then the Viiiiva will work, otherwise I don't think so.

Maybe. If the equipment can be paired to ANT+ then it should work. This strap works with Bluetooth and ANT+ when paired with either.

According to DC Rainmaker.com, "It doesn't work with Polar devices: Polar has their own proprietary W.I.N.D. protocol for use on the majority of their modern devices, and this won't work with that (nor the devices that use the analog or digital non-WIND straps). However, in the event Polar develops a Bluetooth Smart capable device (which they say they are going to do), then it would work just fine with that. More on that later."

Sorry, silly question. It's not a heart rate monitor.Just an activity tracker.http://forum.polar.fi/showthread.php?s=5080dad3b7bc0e2387ee6e1e9bc60fd6&t;=1634

If you use a heart rate monitor such as a strap used around the chest or if you have exercise equipment that has built in pada on the handlebars. This product will create and send a fast electrical link with your equipment to let you see your heart rate progress during workout. A little goes a long way and works whether on your hand, if you equipment comes so equipped or on a chest strap

I use a Timex T5K541 Personal Trainer HR monitor and it works great. In general, the older model wireless heart rate monitors work with this unit because they use lower frequencies. The newer monitors are running at higher frequencies which means they should have fewer issues with signal interference but they won't work with this Oregon Scientific unit.

Just to add to that it works with any ANALOG fitness equipment. Digital or Bluetooth will not work. I believe that model is digital so double check the specs

I don't know anything about Polar Loop but I pair it with my Polar Beat app and it works great.

Yes, but there are some words that indicate it really pairs up best with a specific set of Timex watches. I started using my Timex Global Trainer with a Garmin Heart Rate Sensor strap and then, later, switched to the Timex strap. Both seem to work with the watch.

I think this a spot check device. If you are looking for a heart rate monitor for sports consider one of the many polar models.

Hello Rolando, yes, it is compatible with all Polar Watches. I have one S725X that is the old version of RS800CX. This is a very good suport because came with 3 wholes so you can fix in any handbar you may have. Thanks for asking. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

I would check the transmitter specs on polar site or send them an email. To my little knowledge all current polars work with this strap but there are two transmitter types in polar. Polar usa look up transmitters.

I think that the non-coated transmitters work with all of the watches and heart rate monitors. I would call Polar to be sure.

Yes, if buy the heart monitor strap. It tells you if its too low or in range. If you sign up for Garmin connect it will create a graph for each workout so you can compare as well. I had to use all of this for a class.

I can't really answer that because I didn't wear it often. I didn't find it to be that user friendly so I went back to using my Polar watch w/ heart rate monitor. You may want to ask other purchasers and/or do a customer review search to get a better cross section of opininos.

It is compatible with everything I use at our gym (LA Fitness) and picks up the heart rate within seconds of starting. I read many reviews that it was compatible with the Cybex Arc Trainer 360A as well as many other machines. Hope this helps!

I have a Polar Wearlink Heart Rate Monitor and it works with my Nike Tom Tom watch! Love it!!

It works without the heart rate monitor strap, but it will make a significant difference in accuracy if you do have one. I wear mine with just the loop bracelet and put on the chest strap for workouts and heavy activity. This is the best combo, and why I purchased it in the first place.
