easy replacement strap, 16 Nov 2009
This review is from: Polar T31 Coded Transmitter (Sports)
I got this as my T31 strap stopped working with my Polar HRM after about 2 years. I thought I would have to sync or somehow configure the watch to accept the new strap but it started working as soon as I put it on. Neat!
For anyone having problems just remember to wet the hatched areas that go against your skin. I give them a quick lick which does the trick.

All you need for gym-based heart monitoring, 3 Aug 2009
This review is from: Polar T31 Coded Transmitter (Sports)
It is important to distinguish between a (chest-strap) heart rate transmitter such as the Polar T31 and a wrist band heart rate display or monitor such as the Polar F4, F6, F7 etc.
The T31 is the standard Polar heart rate transmitter supplied in a package with Polar wrist band heart rate monitors. However, if you work out in a gym equipped with modern treadmills, cross trainers, steppers, cycle exercisers etc you will find that the machines are all capable of picking up and displaying the heart-rate signals transmitted by the T31. So if you only work out in the gym using modern exercise machines (e.g. Technogym) just buy the T31 at less than half the price of the full transmitter and monitor package. If you later decide to use it for running, cycling or swimming, just add a wrist band monitor.
The T31 is good value for money, in my opinion. Just ensure that the two conductive strips (look like carbon fibre) on the inner face are slightly damp before starting: once you get into the calorie burning zone your perspiration will keep them that way!

Pretty boring item to review but worked absolutely fine with all the cardio machines (Life Fitness) at my gym.
