Get Heart Rate on Your Smartphone

Wednesday, September 7, 2011 Polar has made ECG-accurate heart rate measurement available for your mobile needs via the Polar WearLink®+ transmitter with Bluetooth®. First available only in select web shops, this comfortable textile heart rate sensor is now on sale through authorized retailers as well. It supports Android, Symbian and Windows platforms and relays your heart rate data wirelessly to your compatible mobile training application, such as the Sports Tracker, Endomondo, or RunKeeper. With Polar, you don’t have to settle on seeing only your speed and distance on your smartphone. By adding the comfortable heart rate sensor, you can get your live heart rate as well, to know more about your performance. This essential bit of data allows you to make the most of every session by enabling you to see how hard you are working and helping you exercise at the right intensity to get the exact training effect you want. The WearLink+ heart rate sensor seamlessly adapts to your body shape, bringing full freedom of movement to your training session. The soft textile strap is machine-washable and, with its hook mechanism, the heart rate sensor is just as quick to put on as it is to take off. The Bluetooth transmission ensures that the mobile application picks up your heart rate signal and not someone else’s. A user replaceable battery furthermore increases the ease-of-use.
