1.0 out of 5 stars Does Not Work, April 5, 2007

Despite generally bad reviews for this item, I nonetheless decided to give it a try with my RS800sd monitor. That was a mistake. It failed to work right out of the box. I tried it on two different computers and neither would recognize it. And before you ask, yes, I installed the driver correctly. 45 minutes on the phone with Polar support was of no help. I am very happy with my Polar monitor, but I was very disappointed in the quality of this item and am surprised that Polar would put their name on something as slipshod as this, especially at such a ridiculous price. I was able to locate a USB IRDA Bridge at an online retailer for 1/4 the price and it works just fine. I hope that this is not a sign of things to come from Polar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works fine every single time, July 11, 2006

I use the IR interface with the Polar s625x running computer, and I have never encountered a single problem. I usually use the interface in to different computers, a notebook at home (with XP), and a desktop at work (2000), and in both computers it works nicely.

You have to be careful and follow the directions that come with the IR interface. Install the software and drivers before you connect the device to the computer.

I love my Polar watch, and the IR interface is an excellent complement for an excellent product.

Initially I had some trouble figuring out the right port to use. But now it works and I've used it constantly for at least 2 years.
