Polar heart rate monitor models S720i and S710i offer you the same features. The difference between these products is in their appearance: Polar S720i case is stainless steal whereas Polar S710i case is plastic.

The features of this heart rate monitor provides you with the various ways to customise your exercise sessions so they meet your personal needs.

For example, use the Interval Trainer™ function to guide you through a complete interval training session. Or, you can choose the functions that suit you best: e.g. timers, recovery calculation and cycling information. After training, you can review your exercise file and transfer it to your computer for analysis with Polar Precision Performance™ software. Monitor your fitness level, and any long-term changes in it, by performing the quick and easy Polar Fitness Test™.

Please read this manual carefully to familiarise yourself with the Polar heart rate monitor. Here is where you can find the information you need to use and maintain your equipment. The function road map on the front cover is a quick guide to the versatile features of the Polar heart rate monitor; please tear it off.
