The slim and light Polar WearLink 31 coded transmitter is compatible with all Polar Heart Rate Monitors. Comfort and functionality combined. The WearLink transmitter is one step towards the concept of functional clothing. The transmitter consists of an electrode strap and a connector. Its new clip-on mechanism ensures quick and easy wear ï¿½ the belt is easy to put on and take off. The WearLink transmitter adapts comfortably to the individual body shapes of the users. Whether you are out skiing or inside playing squash, the soft textile exterior feels like clothing on the skin ï¿½ no chafing or pinching. The transmitterï¿½s textile strap is removable and machine washable. Coded technology for convenience. As more and more people use heart rate monitors today, preventing cross talk from other devices in group situations at the gym or when jogging with a friend becomes essential. With its unique coded technology, the WearLink transmitter blocks unwanted signals from other heart rate monitors, ensuring disturbance-free transmission of your heart rate data.

Great product

A great piece of equipment if you want to target your heart rate and get the most out of your workout on a treadmill or other Polar equipped machines. The device allows the machine to provide a challenging workout without having to touch the sensors encouraging a more natural, hands-free stride when walking, running or stair climbing. Well worth the price.

vast improvement

I have owned various polar heart monitors over the past decade. This particular band is a huge improvement. The wearlink transmitter detatches. This makes the band and the snaps that hold the transmitter much easier to clean. Also, the strap is one separate integrel unit that doesn't depend on the transmitter to complete the circuit. This makes it easier fot the strap to maintain contact with the skin, and leads to less corosion. All in all a superior product

Good for about a year

This strap came with my M61 Polar monitor. It is very comfortable but sometimes difficult to disconnect. The transmitter began to give erratic readings after about a year. Sometimes, after about 30 minutes of exercise, the readings would settle (it had nothing to do with being wet). I regularly cleaned the strap, but decided to clean all contacts too. No help. I replaced the battery. Still no help. I feel this strap is way too expensive to give only one year of usage!

Cannot workout without it!

This is not even comparable with the strap I got when I bought the unit.
I use it for long hikes/climbs and sometimes I wear it for 12 hours; the old one was leaving me bruises, the Polar Wearlink is just perfect.

Big plus that you can change the battery.

Somebody was complaining it takes a long time before starting transmitting: you have to moisten it and it will work right away!

Polar transmitter

I purchased this item along with a Polar heart rate monitor. The combination enables me to maintain my heart rate within the desired range during cardio exercises. I have also observed that this transmitter works with many of the treadmills, bicycles and eliptical machines at the gym so I can monitor my heart rate on the readout panel of the machine without checking my wrist monitor.
