Polar AW200 Activity Watch

The newest innovation from Polar: Measures active steps and active time for effective calorie count without a transmitter belt. Perfect companion for walking, hiking or jogging.

At the heart of the watch is an accelerometer and altimeter that detect even the slightest movement. Data from the sensors is analyzed to distinguish the intensity of the movements and calculate the total energy consumption and burn rate.

The Polar AW200 is a wrist watch based on activity technology. Sensing body movement, the AW200 enables the wearer to develop a better understanding of how much beneficial exercise they are getting. This new activity technology developed by Polar measures not only the quantity but also the quality of the exercise. The information is provided to the wearer in a meaningful and easily quantifiable form (active time, intensity of activity, calories and active steps) which helps motivate and inspire them towards improving the quality of their activity.

Manufactured from stainless steel, the AW200 Activity Watch is stylishly designed and completely non-intrusive making it perfect for wearing 24/7. Its features and design make it an ideal choice for those who enjoy spending their time outdoors; an in-built air pressure sensor enables you to predict weather changes or track your altitude (route profile) whilst on the move. And, by using the route profile information, the AW200 knows if you are exercising harder (e.g. by walking up hill) so you can be sure you won’t be cheated when it tells you how many calories you have burned.
