Polar Wearlink+  Nike+  incompatible iPhone s4?

Seriousely? The Wearlink+ Nike+ heartrate sensor belt is incompatible with the iPhone 4S?
The iPhone 4S is probably the most evolved smartphone on the market and it can't deal with the Polar wearlink+ sensor? Seriousely? We have a state of the art GPS in it, we could have a heartrate monitor and have one of the most complete and modern training system but we should buy the iPod Nano 6th gen for that.
You must be kidding me! You guys at Apple sometimes must be REALLY walking on your heads!!! That's probably a sign you become too big and start missing the small details that were once part of Apple's DNA.

  • Ipod nano 7g and Polar Wearlink+ Nike+ Heart rate receiver

    Hello to everybody, I am struggling in finding information about the compability between Ipod nano 7g and Polar Wearlink+ Nike+ Heart rate receiver without using any additional receiver.
    Documentation posted on Apple, Nike and Polar websites only mention ipod nano 6g.
    Could you please shed some on this?
    Many thanks.
    Fred

    If it is compatible with Nike + it will work with the 7th Generation Nano.

  • Nano G6 needs  reveiver plug-in for wearing polar wearlink+nike+?

    Only what i want is to checking heart-rate while working out.
    If i buy a "Polar WearlinkNike" transmitter for checking heart rate when workout at gym.
    Do i also need to buy the receiver(of nike+ipod SportKit) to plug into the dock connector on iPod nano G6 or G5??
    PS.
    I don't want and it doesn't need the nike+apple wireless sensor(the red&white round-shape one) in my shoes. (i don't wear Nike at all)

    You do need to plug in the receiver in the 6G Nano iPod to use the Polar Wearlink+.
    I just bought the iPod Nano (6th G, touch nano) and I coupled the Polar HRM Wearlink + in the Nike+ iPod settings. It was actually a non brainer. Plug the receiver in, let the iPod link with the HRM, and done. Same with the sensor in my Nike+ shoe.
    Both of them work. I'm so glad to have this come together. The Polar Wearlink+ is cheaper then buying the whole Polar package (with watch etc). Of course, the iPod costs you also 159€, but then you can beam your workouts to the Nike+ website, which is very nice to follow your workouts. When you did the workout, what you did at the moment (run your longest, run the most calories etc).
    Now that I tested it just by walking around and have a little run for a few meters, I cannot wait to get it to work.

  • Is new software around for Ipod Nano 5G with the Nike sensor and Polar wearlink HeartRateMonitor to get spoken feedback on heartrate-zone, so you get a warning if your heartrate is higher or lower than the predefined range.

    I have:
    Ipod Nano 5G with Nike+ sensor and Polar wearlink Heartrate monitor:
    works fine, linking is easy, but....
    Software is rather minimal: Heartrate is on the screen and you get feedback when the center-button is touched.
    To get better results, more functions would be useful, like defining a heartrate zone (like Polar`s own-zone) and automatic spoken feedback if the heartrate is out of the pre-defined range. Also automatic spoken feedback on actual and average heartrate every pre-defined time-interval would be very useful: like the spoken feedback on distance and actual pace I get on my Iphone with Nike+GPS
    Anyone have any suggestions ?

    I have the same issue! I purchased a nano 6th, polar hrm so I could run and receive spoken feedback when my heart rate was outside my preset zone.  My suunto t3 used to beep when outside the preset zones.  Automatic, periodic beeps or spoken feedback is the most important information to receive during exercise. I hope apple can update the software to add this simple yet critical feature.

  • Ipod nano & Nike Polar wearlink (+ also shoe band?)

    To monitore while running the heartbeat using my ipod nano, is it enough to buy and connect the Nike Polar wearlink to Ipod Nano (5° and 6° gen.)?
    I don't understand if it also needs the shoes band. Before to buy Nike Polar wearlink I'd like to be sure.
    Tks very much for your help

    Yes, you need the Nike+ kit to connect the Polar Wearlink.
    Pay attention buying the Polar Wearlink, there are many different types. Be sure to chose the ones for Nike+.
    bye

  • Nike+ and the polar wearlink

    So if I'm reading correctly, the polar wearlink will only work with the 5th generation nano and the 6th generation nano with the adaptor. I can't find anything written on the 4th generation Ipod touch. How is it possible that the new touch does not have this function or am I missing something

    I'm also wondering why it dows not work on a iPhone 3GS. The app does not see a heart monitor, but the instructions mention how to remove it from one.

  • I have ipod nano with 7 generation and I would buy a Polar Wearlink   Transmitter Nike  Plus to view heart beats . Is this product compatible with nano?

  • New nano's & Polar Wearlink+

    Will the new nano's still be compatible with the polar wearlink+ chest strap that's being sold through the Apple online Store? I just bought a new strap and am itching to get a new nano (so I don't have to worry about losing the dongle any longer ;-) but it'd suck to spend 140 Euro only to find out it won't talk to my new strap ...
    As a side note - do any current Wearlink+ users know if the strap is compatible with other Polar gear? I tried getting a straight answer from Polar themselves but the reps I spoke to either didn't know or weren't sure.

    If you need to load a special app, yu are probably out of luck.  You can't add apps to the new Nano.
    If there's an Apple store near you, you could always take the chest strap there and try it out.
    You could also call Apple Sales - they would be able to tell you.

  • Ipod 7th gen compatability probs with polar wearlink heart monitor

    My new ipod nano seems to link with my polar wearlink heart monitor, but does not dispay the heart rate. Can anyone help?

    Thanks for responding.  The HR monitor is new and does link to the Nano properly.  With further fiddling I have now worked out how to operate - I didn't realise that you need to commence a workout to get the HR reading displayed - I assumed it would do that automatically once recognised and linked.  All OK now, thanks again.

  • My iPod 6ª don't sincronize with polar wearlink, why god!?

    I buied a polar wearlink for see my hearth frequency, but when I tryed sincronize . . . nothing happened.

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    okey, i found out that the messages from the polar should look like this:
    fe 0a f5 07 d1 4b 03 3b 03 22
    fe 08 f7 08 d1 4b 03 57
    fe 0a f5 09 d1 4a 03 5b 03 53

    fe 0c f3 0d d1 62 02 12 02 0b 01 3d
    and so on. Where the third hex f3, f5 and f7 decides the message size. And the sixth hex is the heart rate.
    The data I get from the bluetooth seems to "miss" some of the data in the transfer?! Because i get the data:

    I have tried several different read options to the bluetooth read function, but still the same problem. Anyone know how what to try? I add an attachment of a picture of the code and the code itself

  • Using nike+ with iphone 3gs

    I really want to start running with nike+ I have an iphone 3gs and i would like to know what exactly i have to buy to get started?

    1) you need to buy the the thing that fits in the nike show and of course a Nike shoe that supports the sensor - i thinks its $19 US - I know you can buy it from the US Apple store - dont know about Norway - if there is an Apple store you can probably get it there or maybe some other electronics store or buy it online from Mike - the Nike+ software is included in the 3GS so you dont need to get that
    Under Settings on the 3GS click on Nike+Ipod and then set it to on (there are some other things you can set) - but setting it to on will cause the Nike+ app to appear on your iPhone - if you set it to off the app disappears
    once you have the sensor in your shoe the first time you use the Nike+ app it will pair the sensor with your 3GS - from then on clicking on the Nike+ app will give you choice of workouts you can chose from - when you sync your phone to iTunes (at least in the US) part of the sync process will ask if you want to upload your data to nikeplus.com - the Nike+ app on the phone also keeps a history of workouts - it looks like it keeps the last 5
    you can also chose Calibration in the app and then walk around in your Nike shoe for a bit to calibrate the sensor

  • Nike+ with Iphone 3G

    I just bought a Iphone 3G and can't figure out how to set up my Nike+ that I have been using with my Ipod. Please don't tell me that I have to trade it in for a 3Gs. Help!

    This is not okay............. Why won't they enable the Nike+ to work with all devices that are capable of using it? Concerned about people not upgrading to iPhone 3GS? This kind of attitude makes the other competing phones on the market warrant consideration. This is very unApple like. I would have expected this from the old Apple that burned up the first LiIon Batteries and blamed them on anyone else other than their own charging software.
    Apple had come so far, why the digression away from making the users the best positive advertisers of your products?

  • Health. Polar M400 steps and iphone step counter both being added.

    HHealth app prioritising is not working.   I am unable to disable iPhone step counter and it is adding to my polar hrm watch - M400.   I wear my watch all the time but do not carry my iPhone 6 plus all day.   For instance I do not have it with me while working out on a treadmill.   How can I stop Health app from using my iPhone data?   I have tried to see if all the data is visible and see a blank screen.  It is very frustrating and Apple needs to fix this.
