For those who want basic heart rate-based features to keep their fitness training simple, the Polar FT4 shows when you're improving fitness based on heart rate. The wrist unit displays calories burned, and includes a comfortable textile transmitter and coded heart rate transmission to avoid cross-talk.

Body Measurement Features:
  • Automatic age-based target zone: To help you train safely and effectively, the training computer automatically determines your heart rate target zone limits according to your age-based maximum heart rate (220 minus age). The limits are determined either in beats per minute (BPM) or as a percentage of your maximum heart rate.
  • Heart rate: Can be expressed as BPM or as percentage of your maximum heart rate.
  • HR-based target zones with visual and audible alarm: Define target zones for a training session based on heart rate to help define the right intensity. When you are out of the preset zones, the training computer will give a visual and audible alarm.
  • Manual target zone: Enables you to manually enter the target zone for your training, as BPM or percentage of maximum heart rate.
  • Polar OwnCal: Calculates the number of calories burned during training, during individual sessions and cumulatively over time.
  • Polar OwnCode (5kHz): Coded heart rate transmission automatically locks in a code to transmit your heart rate to the training computer, preventing interference from other training computers.
Recording Features:
  • Totals: Includes your training data starting from the last reset, enabling you to follow long-term training.
  • Ten training files, with summaries
Training Features:
  • Graphical target zone indicator: Graphically displays heart rate zone, helping you to stay on the desired intensity.
