Knowing how hard to train can be a challenge as your condition changes every day depending on a number of factors, including your physical and mental state, stress, sleep, and previous training. The brand new ZoneOptimizer feature in the RCX5 takes out the guesswork by adjusting your personal heart rate zones for every training session based on your current physiological condition. It will guide you to train at the right intensity to get the training effect you want, making your every session more effective. In addition, the RCX5 gives you sport-specific training data based on your personal settings and allow you to change from one sport profile to another with just a few button presses. The RCX5 gives heart rate even in water with the new WearLink®+ Hybrid transmitter, making it ideal for triathlon.

The small G5 GPS sensor, rechargeable via micro USB, and s3+ stride sensor with a new, firm shoe attachment which guarantees more accurate running pace and distance measurement. On the saddle, you can get your speed, distance and cadence measured by adding compatible Polar cycling sensors. With the sensor accessories, RCX5 keeps up with you in the water, on the saddle, on your run, and online.
The new map view will allow users with the G5 GPS sensor to review their training data at any point of their route. In addition, the Training Load feature can be seen as a graph, showing your cumulative training load in color coding. You can also create for yourself complete endurance training programs for running and cycling. The training programs can be synched to your RCX5.
