Chronograph Features of the Polar AXN500:

* Time of day
* with daily alarms
* Dual Time
* Daily reminders
* Stopwatch
* Count Down timers
* Self change batteries in both wrist and chest unit
* PC download functionality: Select between a Hi-Res 5 second or a Lower-res 5 minute sample rate. This is the rate at which data is written to memory. The Polar AXN700 can store up to 100 files of maximum total time 660 hours. For example, 10 files each of 10 hours at a 5 minute sample will only fill 1/6th of this memory. This is great for storing expedition data over many days, or even weeks.

Heart Rate Functions of the Polar AXN500

* Displays ECG accurate heart rate date as % of Max HR or a beats per minute (BPM)
* Ability to show a graphical heart rate trend graph on the dot matrix display
* Polar Own Cal counts and displays energy expenditure in calories
* Polar Own Index. The Polar Fitness tests can predict your maximal oxygen uptake by performing a heart rate variability test
* Polar Own Code. The Polar AXN 500 comes with a coded WearLink chest transmitter to reduce the potential of crosstalk with other heart rate monitor users within 1.5m of the user
