Polar Heart Rate Monitors & Accessories

40 Years With Polar: A Personal Anniversary

On August 5, 1986, I got my first Polar heart rate monitor — the Polar Vantage XL, complete with a heart rate strap and the accessory that let me download my workouts to Polar's servers. Four decades later, I'm still training with Polar every single day, and I'm proud to now serve as a Polar Ambassador. From that first Vantage XL to today's GPS-connected, data-rich watches, PPolar has been part of every mile I've run and every workout I've logged for 40 years.
