Can you use a polar HR transmitter??

No, you can't. This device has its own frequency and it's not the same as the one you'll find in Polar, Suunto or VDO monitors. I've go all those devices and none of the transmitter belts works with this unit, and viceversa the garmin belt does not work with other brands monitors

I do not believe it is compatible with Polar. My research indicated Polar is not ANT compatible.

Yes, you most definitely can as long as you have the heart rate monitor synced to your watch. Unfortunately this watch doesn't come with a built-in HR monitor. But it can be purchased separately.

You will need to attach the Polar device on your chest for monitoring your heart rate. It can only store one memory and will overwrite once you start the next exercise. No GPS, no able to transfer the date to your computer. Hope it helps.

Hello Bruce, I had the Nike+ Sportswatch GPS and needed a HRM to go with it. I just checked the Product Description here on Amazon and found the following: "Polar WearLink+ transmitter Nike+ picks up your heart's signals and transfers that data into the Nike+ system. The soft fabric chest strap seamlessly adapts to your body shape, bringing full freedom of movement to your training. With its hook mechanism, transmitter is just as quick to put on as it is to take off.Transfers heart rate information while swimming with products which support 5kHz transmission** FT1, FT2, FT4, FT7, FT40, FT60, FT80, RS100, RS300X, RS400, RCX5, CS100, CS200, CS300" so I guess it does work with the CS300

No. Because this is just the strap that attaches to the HR sending unit on your chest, that the Edge would then pair with to read your HR. The Edge sits on your bike, though I suppose with duct tape you could use the strap and attach it to your body. But you wouldn't get a HR reading.

I use it with my garmin 910xt and it works flawlessly. The strap is far superior to garmins and your garmin unit will snap right on to the polar strap.

It has a built in heart monitor; you need a Garmin belt/transmitter, which comes with the more expensive package. Polar belts will not work.

Yes, you can connect a Garmin HRM ANT+ HRM... Just understand it does not connect to this device, your HRM actually connects to the IPhone, which then communicates with this device. This is where the problems occur. If you wear a cycling jersey with the pocket in the back... you may, as many have, experience erratic connection between phone and RFLKT+ device... additional problems have been reported as a result of flapping jersey and wetness from sweat attenuating the signal. With the IPhone in back pock, not having line of sight with this device, the signal from the phone must bounce off things to get to the RFLKT+... or so it's reported in many reviews and user experiences. I now use the Wahoo Blue (with BT) HRM, Wahoo blue S/C BT speed/cadence sensor and Wahoo case for my IPhone and mount it right on my handlebar with Wahoo mount... this has resulted in error free data reporting of my HR, speed and cadence. Additionally, with the IPhone I have a bigger dashboard to view a whole lot more data while riding... I do not recommend the RFLKT+ as a long time cyclist with experience using multiple Timex, Garmin, Cateye sensors... the aforementioned has served me best while the RFLKT+ was a bust. Remember, the RFLKT+ isn't getting a signal from your HRM or speed/cadence sensor, rather the IPhone is forwarding the data to the RFLKT+... so why not just go with a far less expensive handlebar mount and case for IPhone.

I don't think so. I tried one of the other Polar HR monitors that didn't have the Nike+ symbol on it and the GPS watch would never pick up the signal. I only found the monitor online. The GPS watch is sold at many sporting good stores and BestBuy but apparently the heart rate monitor is difficult to find other than online. It works GREAT by the way- highly recommend it. It's nice to see your workout with pace/elevation/and heart rate all mapped in google maps.

no, but you have to touch it all the time in order to work. Sometimes it does´t read the HR. It´s an ok HR monitor, but not the best by far.

Yes. However, the HRM from Garmin is more expensive than buying as a package. But you are not limited to just a Garmin HRM. Just make sure it is an ANT+ compatible unit and you'll be fine.

No, it is sold seperately for about $50. The monitor and sensor are proprietary and a Polar sensor will not work. That is a negative for this watch and heart rate monitor.

All Polar's are sold with the HRM strap and transmitter. Polar does not sell the watches separately.

good question, i want to buy a replacement one for my polar, but it use the old T31 transmitter, i was wondering if this one would work

I currently use a Polar H7 Bluetooth heart rate monitor when I cycle and seem to get very accurate readings on both. And that's running both the Wahoo Fitness app and a Digifit app at the same time. I'm not sure if there are any bad effects when using this with a ANT+ monitor though, as I've never tried an ANT+ hr monitor.
