## Customer Reviews

    Very good Polar and worth the extra cash
  

*by L***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 23, 2015*

I was going to purchase an FT4, mainly because it was much less expensive and had a large number of users who gave it a good review. The RCX5, being more expensive, wasn't likely to have as many comments, since the less expensive watch would at least in my opinion attract the greater number of buyers and therefore the greater number of likely customer ratings. However, since there is a return policy on most things that Amazon sells, I decided to take a chance on the RCX5. First, I the RCX5 has a number of different screens that the user can choose from while working at whatever sport they are engaged in. For me, this was running. Frankly, its a no-brainer for me that the watch should display the BPM, the average BPM and the time. I emphasize displaying the time. the lesser Polars don't seem to show that. I'd rather not wear two watches just for that. It's useful for interval training and for me it was an essential feature. Also, I'm older and my vision is not what it was and this watch's display is large enough to see while exercising. Some of Polar's other models seem to have too small read-outs. Finally, I bought this so that it could be used both with the blutooth chest strap (which works well) as well as allowing me to add on the Polar GPS device in order to more accurately measure distance. Since buying the watch I have added the GPS and that has worked fairly well.

    High price, poor quality, lousy battery life, old technology.  Perfectly bad.
  

*by A***2 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 1, 2015*

Absolutely garbage construction.  For $200+, I expect it to be made to last.  I was able to use it at the gym for about a week before the chest strap battery died, and on the very first attempt to open the coin cell battery door, the soft and weak plastic sheared away from the notch, rendering the device useless (as I couldn't replace the battery).  Polar support took 5 days to respond to an e-mail and a voicemail message (their hold time was stated as over an hour), and it was the same information relayed in the instruction manual ... return it, we'll repair it, and charge you.  No warranty repair if the battery door is damaged.I went with a Wahoo Tickr paired to my S5 phone, and I couldn't be happier.  $180 cheaper and it seems more accurate.  I will never buy another Polar product again.  If the battery door didn't shear off on the first battery replacement, it would have done so in short order on future replacements, since the battery life was also pretty abysmal.  Please note that I've dealt with coin cell doors for over 30 years ... I used a standard U.S. nickel as the twisting device, as I've always done, and I did it gently.  The plastic stripped away like it was made of butter on the first gentle twist.The Wahoo Tickr that I bought as a follow up device also has the same style of battery door.  No issues opening and closing it without damage.Polar, your prices, support, battery life, and material selection suck.  Your tech is straight out of 1989.  I'm really happy to never deal with you again.  How you became an industry leader is beyond me.  It must have been a big fish, small pond sort of affair.

    The display isn't as easy to read (seems foggy
  

*by S***B on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 5, 2016*

I bought this for the customizable display.  I want to see calories burned during my workout, along with duration, HR and split time.  I don't used the running or GPS features.  The display isn't as easy to read (seems foggy?) as my other polars.  It works great has a TON of features, and seems to calculate the same calories (I know mostly estimated) as my other polars.  I used this at the same time as my smartphone polar beat app.  Sync'd fine with a Win7 PC, didn't try syncing yet with Win8/Win10.  I would buy this again for the customizable display features.
