Tech Review: Polar CS600X Ultimate Cycling Computer

I started setting up the Polar CS600x at 9:13pm. The first step was going on the Polar website to learn how to install the computer. I then double checked on how to install the bike mount by clicking on a link. Amazingly simple.

This product can be purchased in:


Is training focused on your heart rate still popular? Over the years we have gone from 'ride long hours' to ride a fixed wheel, to 'if you want to race hard train hard', to the heart rate monitor revolution, to focusing now on training with power. Luckily the Polar 600x can track your information on all of these aspects so it will suit your training no matter your focus.

The CS600x lies second in Polars cycling specific hierarchy. Built to be the 'ultimate cycling computer', Polar has poured a great deal of time, research and development into the CS600x. The new computer allows you to track your ride with the help of Google Earth, as well as offering options like power, cadence and speed with optional add-ons.

History

To offer readers a brief history, around 1975 there became a demand to measure heart rate for athletes in cross-country skiing. At that time, there was no portable device available to measure heart rate duriing training. Just over one year later, POLAR was founded near the city of Oulu, Finland. In this challenging environment, Polar began testing its products.

In 1979 POLAR filed its first patent for wireless heart rate measurement and by 1982 they were able to launch the first ever wire free, wearable heart rate monitor. This effectively changed the way athletes trained forever. Polar has been involved in makiing heart rate monitors since 1977 and was one of the companies that could be accredited with some of the major training innovations for cyclists and many other endurance athletes. Like many sports companies, Polar started as a relatively small operation in 1977 to a business that today employs 1200 people globally with a network of 35,000 retail outlets in more than 80 countries!

 

Marketing blurb


TheThe CS600X is another perfect example of the training revolution. Advanced heart rate and training features make this the ultimate cycling computer. And by using the compatible G3 GPS sensor, you can track and record routes, and take your training to its highest level.

 

Reality
Basically, Polar has continued to evolve and develop better products which allow you to gain even more information to manage your training and improve.


Look

In years gone by Polar had a reputation for making oversized watches (see photos of the 725x above) that allowed others to immediately determine you were a cyclist, triathlete or runner. It got to the point where being seen in public wearing one was a major fashion mistake. Luckily the CS600x cannot be worn on your wrist and needs to stay firmly affixed to your bike! On a more positive note, Polars' newer models of heart rate monitors in watch format do come with very sleek and very cool designs (that can easily be worn in public).


More specifically, The CS600x mounts neatly on your stem or handlebar. It looks tidy, professional and is easy to set up. The shape is basically an oval, and once you have ridden with it for a little while you basically forget it's there. The white and silver combination works well on most bikes and it also comes in limited edition colours to suit different colour tastes.


The CS600x is only slightly thicker than the Nokia E71 - a skinny phone!

 

This model is aimed at competitive and elite level cyclists so the look is decidedly minimalist which is a good thing. It is easy to operate with one finger and easy to change between screens during hard training and races.

 

Features

  • Helps you optimize your training with cycling limits
  • Speed
  • Cadence
  • Power (with optional upgrade)
  • Determines if your training program and recovery time are optimally developing your performance (not sure on this one)
  • Measures incline and adjusts your efforts accordingly
  • Allows you to plan, analyze and follow up your training with the Polar ProTrainer 5 software
  • Views route information in mapping software, such as Google Earth (with optional upgrade)
  • Thermometre
  • Barometric altimetre

Set up

I started setting this product up at 9:13 pm in the evening. I attached the fork and wheel magnets easily, but I couldn’t ‘teach’ the new sensor so I went to bed at 9:30pm. I was immensely impressed with the Polar Website - each step of setting up the computer was easy to understand and visually represented on this site. Eventually, with a bit of 'fiddling' I got everything working and each of the sensors 'taught'. Total set up time was 1 hour.


On my first ride with the product the speed sensor stopped working after 1.5 kilometres. I found this frustrating as I had to stop and wiggle the sensor for a few minutes. Eventually it started working again. On my morning rides I have to make a ferry crossing and my speed sensor stopped working again while I was on the ferry. Luckily I was able to get it 'taught' again before I got off the ferry - a total time of about 3 minutes. The speed sensor has worked flawlessly since the last problem and I have never had an issue with the cadence sensor. One item to note with setup on the cadence sensor - Polar suggests you use 'Polar Tape' which is black take with the Polar logo on it to further secure the magnet. Some riders may not like this tape on their expensive carbon cranks - we quite liked the look.

 

The Polar is pretty straight forward to use and navigation is easy. While riding the computer reacts quickly and is very accurate (according to the scooter I had to motor pace to check speed). In use, this product has had a lot of characteristics we typically look for: ease of installation, light, easy to use, easy to understand, and it doesn't make a mess of your bike with wires. The Polar Protrainer software was very easy to install with an included CD and provided a huge amount of feedback and measurement in an easy to understand layout.

Bottom Line
I was previously riding the Polar 725x and it was a great product. Over the last 3 years I had absolutely no problems with it and didn't even have to change the battery. The CS600x gives me a very similar feeling of quality, reliability, and precision.

If you are working with a coach the CS600x will provide you both with a huge range of information to assist you in improvement and performance evaluation. If you don't use a coach, or are self coached, the Polar offers a fitness test function so you can track progress.

Pros!

  • Looks - this is a tidy and sleek looking product
  • Easy to use with one finger
  • Huge range of features
  • Polar website and video assistance

Not so pros. . .

  • Initial issues with 'teaching sensors'
  • Screen not as customisable at the 725x
