Polar Brings Athletes the Smallest Heart Rate Sensor Yet New H6 Bluetooth Smart heart rate sensor works with popular apps and all latest Apple devices

 Today Polar announced an expansion of its line-up of wireless heart rate sensors, the Polar H6 Bluetooth Smart heart rate sensor. This new device is for anyone who wants to get more from their training. When used together with a fitness app, including Polar Beat, it offers accurate heart rate count live on a mobile device using Bluetooth Smart technology. It also features a lighter, slimmer, and more streamlined design that fits like a second skin.

The Polar H6 Bluetooth Smart heart rate sensor will help anyone looking to improve their health and fitness. Users benefit from:

• The most accurate heart rate fed live to their mobile device so they can adjust their training intensity as they go and analyze it after a workout

• Minimal battery consumption and a high quality wireless connection thanks to Bluetooth Smart technology (300 hours with Polar Beat and an iPhone 4S / 5)

• The light, elegant feel of a second skin – the strap is extremely soft and the sensor has been designed to be lighter and more streamlined

• Compatibility with all the latest Apple mobile devices and the most popular training apps, including Polar Beat, a free new app that adds intelligence to your training data, so you know what to do to meet your desired goal: get slimmer, run faster, or go further.

The Polar H6 Bluetooth Smart heart rate sensor is available from late January for a suggested retail price of €59.90. It works with the most popular training apps, including Polar’s own new training companion, Polar Beat.
