Polar Wearlink Transmitter, Color:Black,
A lot More Comfortable and Less Expensive in the Long Run,
One big improvement from the original transmitters (T31 or T61 transmitters) is that with this model (the Wearlink) you only have to buy a new battery and replace it once they ran out and your transmitter is ready to use again. With the original ones you have to buy a new transmitter every time the battery dies, since the whole structure is sealed. So if your Polar wrist watch came with the T31 or T61, wait until the battery is finished and buy the Wearlink transmitter instead, you will save a lot of money over the years (compare the 39.95 US$ that the T31 or T61 cost vs the cost of a replacement battery).
The other big advantage is that the Wearlink transmitter is more confortable to wear, since it adapts better to the shape of your body since even the electrodes are flexible and are embedded in the fabric. Being flexible and all makes it easier to storage it your pocket when your finish training or if you are traveling.
In summary a great product for your Polar HRM, and a smart improvement if it is time to replace your old transmitter. Don’t buy another T31 or T61, buy this one instead.
I run with my Polar six days a week, and probably train about ten hour a week with it. I used to have the T31 with my first Polar (the M61) so I can tell you first hand the Wearlink is far better. In summary more confortable, easier to wash, and a money saver. I was more than happy to trow the old one away after I bought this one.

|Comfortable w/ replacable battery,
I used this transmitter 4-5 days a week and it works great. It’s comfortable, and washes well. I purchased this one since my original one had a sealed battery. I like the fact that I can take the transmitter off, and just wash this in the shower. And, when my battery runs out, I can just replace it.
If you are looking for a replacement Polar transmitter strap, this one will work great.

|Disappointed,
Went to change the battery -after only a few good uses the reading became erratic, then non existent-; the coin -5 cent nickel coin as advised- wore out the indentation and it was impossible to open again. contacted polar cust svc. live chat were I was given the address of a repair shop in downtown LA.
