Polar wearlink replacement strap

2008-06-30
I have an older model of this strap and this one is much more user friendly. It works great!

Better than the original

I bought a pair of these to replace the one I currently have. It seems that Polar made some good changes to the design. It hooks together instead of relying on the transmitter to clip the two halves in place. The design is much smarter because I can now wear it all day, and clip the transmitter on only when I work out, thus preserving the battery life of the transmitter.

Polar HRM strap

This is my third polar HRM strap for this particular watch (The RS200). Not because they wear out really, but because I use mine all the time. The electrodes do eventually wear down because of salt, then washing, more salt, more washing. The reseller was efficient and delivery was fast.

Better than original

I received this strap as a replacement to the original that was included with the purchase of my S625X HRM watch. The picture that is presented in Amazon shows the strap with connections at the ends to attach to the chest transmitter, this is wrong. The replacement strap is a WearLinkII that has the connections to the transmitter offset from the middle on a contiguous portion of the strap, not at the ends. I called support because they did not send what was pictured. They told me that the other strap is no longer made, this is an improved model and I should try it to see if it works. It does, very well.
Something should change on Amazon to eliminate any confusion, picture or description.

Exactly as advertised

The strap came very quickly and was an exact replacement for the original. It solved a problem I had with the contacts on the original. The original lasted over a year and I used it 5 days a week or more. My advice is to not store the strap in your gym bag. I now tie it to the outside of the bag in hopes that this will help will prevent corrosion on the contacts. No matter what, this kind of strap is well worth the cost.

excellent product

Be Careful and Choose the Right Size

My shirt size is "M" and this strap fits fine on me, considering that I used it totally extended, so don't be fooled by the XXL size. Buy only the X - XS only if you are really skinny.

Also be aware that this replacement strap can't not be used with the old transmitters (T31 or T61), I know is obvious, but just in case.

If your Polar wrist watch came with one of the old transmitters, you should seriously consider changing it for the Wearlink. One big improvement from the original transmitters (T31 or T61 transmitters) is that with this model (the Wearlink) you only have to buy a new battery and replace it once they ran out and your transmitter is ready to use again. With the original ones you have to buy a new transmitter every time the battery dies, since the whole structure is sealed. So if your Polar wrist watch came with the T31 or T61, wait until the battery is finished and buy the Wearlink transmitter instead, you will save a lot of money over the years (compare the 39.95 US$ that the T31 or T61 cost vs the cost of a replacement battery).

The other big advantage is that the Wearlink transmitter is more confortable to wear, since it adapts better to the shape of your body since even the electrodes are flexible and are embedded in the fabric. Being flexible and all makes it easier to storage it your pocket when your finish training or if you are traveling.

In summary a great product for your Polar HRM, and a smart improvement if it is time to replace your old transmitter. Don't buy another T31 or T61, buy this one instead.

I run with my Polar six days a week, and probably train about ten hour a week with it. I used to have the T31 with my first Polar (the M61) so I can tell you first hand the Wearlink is far better. In summary more confortable, easier to wash, and a money saver. I was more than happy to trow the old one away after I bought this one.
