Does this HRM allow runners to see there heart rate while running on the nike + wrist band or only on the computer?
@HeartRateMonitor1 I meant the 5G Nano, sorry
@theshindogg Yes, it is but it only works with the Nano G4 as a device that is compatible with the Nike Plus system. Polar has integrated with many gym equipment manufacturer’s over the past decade, which is a big plus. It is also compatible with many of the Polar wrist units as long as they operate on the 5MHZ frequency.
I have a question: is this version of the polar chest strap also compatible with many of the built in sensors on treadmills to display heartrate? My previous polar (non nike version) chest strap which was made for a watch also broadcasted is some stardard frequency that a lot of treadmills support.
thanks
@HeartRateMonitor1 thats a lame excuse. its like saying…we didnt make this car work with unleaded petrol cause its the only way to get people to buy the premium gas….. if there was a technical reason behind it I would accept it…but afaik there is not
@HeartRateMonitor1 >Correct, it must be a fifth generation I-Pod but anyone purchasing this item is already going to own a Nike Plus system and be well aware of that fact.
Not true. I own the Nike+ system and had I relied on your video would not have known that the HR monitor only works with iPod Nano 5G. There are whole Nike+ forum boards of folks with the Nike+ system confused on this point. You should update the informational text of this video to say this product ONLY works with Nano 5G.
@HeartRateMonitor1 The descriptive text on this video says “If you own an I-Pod, I-Phone or I-Touch adding this chest strap to your Nike plus system gives you the only method of adding real-time heart rate data, from the industry leader Polar.” Since you know that this product only works with the iPod Nano 5G you should change this text so that it’s correct.
@ltshinta If the Nike Plus system worked with the T31 then there would have been no need to invent a new product. Nike went to Polar, the leader in heart rate monitors, to develop this system and it is the only way to get heart rate with the new Nike Plus system.
@erininstpaul Correct, it must be a fifth generation I-Pod but anyone purchasing this item is already going to own a Nike Plus system and be well aware of that fact.
balls it doesnr work with T31
Yes… what the video doesn’t mention is that this apparently works for exactly ONE iPod product, the Nano 5G. It doesn’t work with iPhone or Nano 4G or iTouch as the description on this video claims. Not sure if it even works for Nano 6G. Proceed with caution on this one.
