 Polar Wearlink September 27, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I bought a new heart rate monitor and this transmitter came with it. I have had to replace the battery after about 9 months which was no big deal. Since than I have had so many problems with the transmitter stopping in the middle of a run. I have replaced the battery so many times that the cover now is stripped which means I have to replace the entire sensor since Polar does not just sell a cover. I would probably not buy another Polar. I am disappointed in their lack of reasonable support of the product. I thought having a replacement battery was a positive however the design flaws make the device unstable after the cover and battery is removed.
 Comfortable, easy to use and maintain September 16, 2006

I've used both the older plastic and the newer fabric Wearlink transmitters. I much prefer the new Wearlink model. I've used my Wearlink transmitter for 1.5 years with absolutely no problems. I wash the fabric strap in the washing machine (delicate cycle) occassionally after removing the hard plastic transmitter. I quickly rinse the transmitter in cool running water to remove accumulated salt build up. I still haven't had to change the battery out even after 200+ hours of triathlon training and exercise bootcamps. However, I pulled the battery out just to see how easy it was. Very easy! I use my transmitter interchangeably between 2 different models of polar heart rate monitors. My strap has never torn or seemed difficult to remove. I can say from first hand experience that the soft Wearlink transmitter is much more comfortable when wearing an underwire sports bra. The hard plastic model frequently skipped and lost contact when paired with my underwire sports bra. I've never had that issue with the soft Wearlink model. The Wearlink also works well in water. Chlorine doesn't seem to bother it but I rinse the strap and transmitter in cool running water after each swim.
 Dissatisfied with product and Polar customer service September 18, 2007

I am a doctor and for quite a few years was a Polar distributor in my practice because I believed that Polar was a good company with good heart monitors. I purchased the Wearlink transmitter belt a few years ago. It only worked for a few weeks before it stopped functioning. I used the belt that came with the Polar heart monitor since then. Recently I noticed my old Wearlink transmitter and went on Polar's website and saw that they offer a replacement battery and cover but there was no place to actually purchase this on their website. I emailed them to purchase this replacement battery and and cover (I mostly wanted the cover because my was ruined by trying to remove it to see what kind of battery was required)and they refused saying that I must send my Wearlink in for repair. The cost of doing this is excessive and I think that if a person wants to try replacing the battery and cover themself they should be allowed to try before being charged excessive fees for a battery and having to pay shipping for a service that may not be required.

Warning. Amazon reviews and descriptions can be deceiving. This transmitter works wonderfully with a wide distance on a Precor treadmill and is light weight, fits (comfortably) a medium to xx-large men's chest and doesn't require a lot of maintenance. The contacts are wide enough to make good skin contact on your chest and is easy to snap on and off. The price was good, too. Buy from Amazon, not from the other listed vendors, you get timely (and free) shipping, no taxes and a quality product.
Just another disposable transmitter September 5, 2006

This transmitter is very comfortable. However the main problem arises when, just about over a year from the date of purchase, one has to change the battery of the unit. The lid does not open! One can easily turn the lid to the full "open" position; but, doing so does not produce the desired result at all. The lid remains locked and does not pop out! Good luck to anybody buying this unit thinking that he/she will be able to change the battery when it goes dead!
The way the strap is connected to the transmitter is also poorly designed. Disconnecting the strap from the transmitter requires a lot of care so that breakage of the locking mechanism does not happen.
