Product Description Designed for endurance, eventing, galopp/throughbreds and jumping,/dressage.Wireless heart rate, speed, distance, & altitude - The new GPS-based Polar Equine RS800 G3 measures not only heart rate but also speed, distance, altitude simultaneously and is as a consequence the most complete heart rate-based training solution for horses. You are now able to control the training of your horse more precisely. Speed and differences in altitude can be compared with the horses heart rate. The possibility of analyzing all the data afterwards, enables you to get a better understanding of the horse's workload in training or competition. The newly gained knowledge can then be used to tailor the horses training program in order to cope with the level of exertion and stress attained during competition. The SIRF-III GPS chipset, the sensor provides excellent coverage, fast time to first fix and optimal power consumption. A single AA battery provides up to 20 hours continual use. Weighing only 80grams (inc. battery) and water resistant to 3 bar, g3 is extremely compact and built to withstand the harshest conditions of even the most extreme disciplines.
Customer Reviews:
Too complicated, and no English quickstart instructionsNovember 16, 2008 Bought for my wife's birthday. She's very technical (has MBA and MS/CS degrees), and as an endurance athlete she's become very familiar with Polar and Garmin HRMs and GPS devices over the years - has a Garmin 305, an eTrex Vista, a Brunton GPS, etc.
Well, this device stumped her - she worked with it for an hour and couldn't get the GPS part to sync with the display ... maybe because the quickstart instructions were all in French?
She worked through all the menus and decided that even if she *could* get the thing to function, it was going to be unworkable while riding. And, as delivered it doesn't have everything it needs for connecting to a computer (that's optional). So, we returned it.
