S1 Foot Pod

The Polar S1 foot pod should be just as much a part of your training as your running shoes. Accurately measuring your running speed/pace and distance, this essential piece of kit will be with you every step of the way. And even though it attaches to your shoe laces, its so light that youll forget its even there, which means it wont affect your running performance.

I bought this S1 Footpod for use with my Polar FT60, and have had no problems after (3) outdoor runs and (2) indoor runs. running watches with gps

This S1 is technically designed for use where the G1 (gps based footpod) doesn't have satellite connectivity.

On the (3) outdoor runs, this recorded to my Polar FT60 with absolutely no problems. And the distance accuracy was within approximately a quarter block in distance compared to me GPS recorded RunKeeper statistics.

On the (2) indoor runs, this was almost identical to the distance reported by the treadmill I was using.

I've only had one briefly moment that the FT60 prompted me to check my S1 Footpod, and even during that time it was functioning promperly. It is easy to attach to your shoe, and I don't even notice once I start my runs.

I really enjoy the added data, this unit provides me.
