This is a Horsebeat special offer

We have taken the Bowflex 905 GPS sport watch and added the Polar Equine T51H heart rate transmitter....

If you've been considering a customised Garmin Forerunner 305 as offered by some equine monitoring companies, or the Polar RS800 GPS, then we are pleased to offer a VERY GOOD VALUE alternative. With this Equine Bowflex wrist mounted GPS ~ heart rate monitor watch you will be able to track speed, distance and heart rate in ONE WATCH. All the recorded data can be downloaded for performance review following your ride. They come with some impressive software that INCLUDES full Googlemaps with street marking and aerial photo view - so no need to export the data from one software to another. USB connection via PC cable, supplied, was quick and easy to set up. These units are IPX7 water-resistant, basically fine to get wet, but not spend time UNDER water.

What you get is :

1 x Bowflex GPS / heart rate monitor watch

1 x Human HRM strap (so you can use it yourself running or cycling

1 x Polar Equine T51H horse heart rate monitor transmitter (to attach to girth straps on horse)

1 x PC connectivity kit including USB cable and CD ROM

What will it give you ?

• real time horse's heart rate
• real time speed and distance travelled
• ability to download tracks to performance monitoring software incorporating Google maps#
• option to use it yourself for running, cycling orienteering etc ....(comes with human and horse HRM strap)

Please note, these units are quite big... a bit bigger than a Forerunner 305 - but we don't think that should detract from their performance. They are THINNER than the Forerunner 305, but LONGER, from top to bottom. We are confident you will love this unit - however, if you are not happy with it when it arrives, just send it back for a full refund - WE'VE NOT HAD ONE BACK YET !!

In summary ~ we found the software to be VERY GOOD, user interface on watch VERY EASY to navigate around functions ~ great memory 15 hours of data at 1 second interval. All in all - an accomplished alternative to the Garmin Forerunner range (if you didn't know better, you might think it WAS a Garmin, user screens are very similar, even the "beep" on power up sounds the same...)

The Equine Bowflex 905 GPS watch uses 5.4KHz analogue transmission - this means it will communicate with popular gym equipment equipped with Polar / analogue heart rate receivers like Technogym, Life Fitness, Cybex, Concept 2 etc. Garmin use a DIGITAL transmission that is NOT compatible with gym equipment (unless it states ANT+compatible on the machine)
