5 out of 5 stars Better than the old version   November 11, 2009
Aaron E. (New York)
I had an older version of the wear-link that I used for a number of years. It snapped closed in the front, one snap on either side of the transmitter. I ordered the old version because that is what was pictured. They kept sending me this new strap. I sent it back twice. Then I went to a running store and all they had was this one and not the old one. Then a light went off in my head shortly after while on a run that they designed the new one to fit the old transmitter. Duh . . . if only they had put that in the product description. Amazon was really great about me returning the first two straps. So when it hit me that the new version would fit I ordered a new one. I was relieved when it DID actually fit.

It is more comfortable against the skin than the older version. It is also much easier to use since the transmitter is mounted on the strap and the hook that is slightly off center is much easier to use than snapping the strap to the sensor when you want to use it. Over all I think it is a much improved design. The only failing was not making it clear that it replace the original strap and could be used with an older sensor.

I had lost my belt that originally came with my watch and i bought this as a replacement. I use it religiously.


1 out of 5 stars Long Time Customer - Really Disappointed   October 26, 2009
J. Muir (Midvale, UT USA)
My experience with this transmitter and the FT80. I have used Polar monitors for years and I can't tell you how disappointed I was when the first "improved" transmitter stopped working. It worked fine for about 10 weeks. Then I started getting readings of 208 before even warming up. I would mess around with the belt and transmitter over and over to make it work - and it would sometimes for about 5 minutes - then back to crazy readings. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, replaced a 10 week old battery - same results. So I bought another transmitter here on Amazon only to have it do exactly the same thing after only 2 weeks. The product is bad because of the transmitter and you cannot use the older models with it so I am back to using my Polar F6 which has been bulletproof (and costs 1/4th as much). Polar - you really need to fix the transmitter problem on the new watches and provide us an alternative to the one flawed transmitter you offer.


1 out of 5 stars This is not at Bluetooth device   October 17, 2009

I ordered this to use with the Sports Tracker software used on my Nokia 5800XM cell phone. Polar does not specifically say with what devices either this does or does not work. The package says only "Compatible with Polar products utilizing 5kHz transmission technology." Exactly how many people know this technical specification? This rating is based solely on the fact that this is one of the few companies that does not specifically say what products work with their devices. Shame on me for not completing a thorough internet search that would have shown that other people have also fallen in the same trap. A search on Polar's site shows that Polar says to call Nokia and Nokia says to call Polar? I found a German language Polar site with an actual picture of the belt I need and the transmitter says "Polar for Nokia" and will be available in 2010. Why does Polar USA not simply say "available 2010?" Because the package was impossible to open without the use of scissors, the item is not returnable and I will attempt to sell it to someone who can use this with their Polar watch or with whatever "5kHz transmission technology" it works.


5 out of 5 stars Side Hook much better then Popins of Original   October 16, 2009
J. Payne (Illinois)
I was so happy that this strap and transmitter had the strap connecting on the side instead of the snap in using the transmitter, since the tabs on the transmitter broke within a week of original purchase, and that was just taking it on and off for normal use.
The previous one still worked even though the little tab pieces broke but I had intermittent problems and I feel it was caused by the possible unsecure connection with those broken tab parts missing.
I was also not sure if it would work with my rs400 since it had the new technology but it worked, put it on and first try it quickly got my heart rate. It was a relief cause I was worried it could have been the watch not the strap that was failing to receive proper HR readings.
Got the item on schedule, came in sealed retail packaging within a padded envelope.
