Polar Flowlink REVIEWS

Polar Flowlink GREAT!
if you use the polar heart rate and want to upload it to the web to keep track this is def the way to go.. I love it and keeps me motivated to keep working out everyday.

Polar Flowlink Works Great.
I have the Polar FT60 and bought the Flowlink so I could download and review my heart rate data from workouts. However, I was disappointed to discover that the FT60 only saves summaries of workouts (ie, X hrs in Zone 1, Y hours in Zone 2, etc.). I didn't find that information too useful for post-workout analysis... I would rather be able to see my heart rate over the duration of a workout. This is more a shortcoming of the FT60 though.

The Flowlink works great and as described. Just set your watch on it and a few seconds later, your workout is on your computer. Pretty straightforward and simple. Just make sure your watch logs the data you want before spending the money on the Flowlink! 


Polar Flowlink Necessity, no. Convenient, absolutely!
Following other reviewers tips, I had zero problems downloading the device driver from Polar, and installation.
(I run Windows Vista)

Including opening the package, downloading drivers and installation it took under five minutes until my FT40 was uploading the data.

The FlowLink is absolutely not a necessity, as one can manually key in all the data.
I am just too lazy, so this thing is perfect.

The cord is short, at 50 Centimeters right to the tip of the USB insert.
Oh well life is short too, too short to spend typing out all the data from my workouts ;-)

5 Stars performs exactly as advertised.
I will update this review if I encounter any issues within a reasonable time frame. 


Polar Flowlink Best Price, Works Great.
I had to adjust my Avast firewall before it would transmit but I don't guess that could be blamed on the Flowlink. Once I got the firewall adjusted it worked like a charm.

Polar Flowlink Best Buy, Works Well.
After reading reviews I hesitated before finally purchasing the flowlink. As a MAC buff, I was disappointed that it didn't work with a MAC unless the MAC is in virtual PC mode. It works well with a PC (XP) with downloaded polar software. The compatible HRM -- mine is an FT7 -- is placed upside down in the receiver, the software is activated, popups appear, choices are made re data to be uploaded, and workout data is uploaded with options for adding more workout info and notes. Very nice system.
