Description

The Polar WearLink transmitter combines superior Polar technology with a new fabric design. The electrodes, which pick up the heart’s signals, are engineered right into the fabric strap. The result is a superior fit for any individual body shape, providing revolutionary comfort and full freedom of movement. The transmitter’s textile strap is removable and machine washable. Its clip-on mechanism ensures quick and easy wear, and the belt is easy to put on and take off.

Polar’s coded technology ensures that the user picks up only their heart signal, and not the signal of another heart rate monitor nearby. With millions of HRMs in use today, there’s a good chance that someone working out next to you may also have one on. Interference from any other HRM is now eliminated and an accurate signal is ensured.

Customer Reviews:

I was having issues with my Polar heart rate monitor. I rinsed and washed my previous strap as indicated in the directions and had replaced the battery on the coded transmitter, but I was still getting unreliable heart rate readings. As soon as I replaced the strap, the Polar heart rate monitor worked correctly again.

I lost the original transmitter that cames with the Polar and I saw that my polar works with the Polar Wearlink Coded model, so I bought this model and it is working fine. I really like this wearlink, and the differential to buy this specific model was the option to change battery, because the regular one does not offer this option, once the battery stop to work, you need to buy a new one.
Summary, it is good and works fine, in my case I really like it.

I bought this to replace my previous wearlink transmitter that my dog chewed up. I have to say that I am extremely pleased with this one. It is updated from the original one I received with my unit and it is more sensitive and fits more comfortable than the original wearlink. This is by far the most comfortable heartrate monitor transmitter available.

I bought this to replace the old style solid transmitter. It’s way more comfortable and the contacts are soft so they stay wet if you don’t start your workout right away. Unfortunately the belt clips are starting to delaminate after about 3 months. The clip is still fine but it’s looking ugly. Still better than the old units.

Replacement strap is a much better design than the original that came with the Polar M61 I received a couple of years ago. It is less likely to suffer the same defect of having the snap detach from the strap since that was the method of putting the strap on across your chest. The replacement strap is also better designed in the contact area and seems to provide immediate and accurate heart rate readings; I haven’t had the need of pre-wetting the strap to get a heart rate reading. It was also convenient to have two different sizes available (XS - S) and (M-XL)
