Polar M400 GPS Watch with Heart Rate: Enhance your training sessions with this GPS watch, which tracks speed, distance traveled, calories burned and more for comprehensive monitoring. Bluetooth technology allows easy wireless pairing with an Android or iOS device.
Q: Does the heart rate monitor require extra straps or devices
A: The M400 with heart rate comes with all the components you'll need to get up and running. Included will be the watch, chest strap, heart rate sensor as well as the cable that both charges the device. Mike @ Polar USA
A: You're going to get a much much much more accurate reading if you choose to go with a monitor with a chest strap. I own a monitor that has the optical HR sensor and I absolutely despise it.
Q: Is the white one easy to clean?
A: I've had mine for 2 weeks now. The silicon band does not stain. I've changed the oil and transmission fluid in my car, got grease all over it, and it all just wiped right off.
Q: What is the range on the HRM chest strap transmitter?
A: They claim the Bluetooth extends to roughly 30 feet. You can set the Bluetooth to not be visible to others, so your watches and heart rates do not interfere with each other.
Q: Swimming
A: The M400 does not have any swimming specific metrics. Our V800 however, which is designed for the multisport athlete, does. In addition to tracking one's heart rate and estimating calorie burn, it also recognizes the swimming stroke, the number of laps (if swimming in a pool) as well as your pace and distance. - Mike @ Polar USA
Q: DOES THE 400 GIVE A CONSTANT READOUT OF RUNNING CADENCE?
A: Yes, with the latest software update the M400 will give real time cadence.
Q: Does it work for indoor rowing?
A: Yes, the M400 can be used for any activity where one wants to track their heart rate during exercise. You can create what Polar calls a 'sport profile' marked as 'rowing' and then simply disable the GPS function when indoors. It will track all your heart rate and exercise data which then can be analyzed further at our website www.flow.polar.com. Mike @ Polar USA
A: When purchasing any Polar product, it is packaged with all the components needed to get up and running with the product. With regards to the M400, it is important to note that there are 2 versions of the product available for sale. One with the H7 heart rate sensor and strap and one without. - Mike@PolarUSA
