Polar RC3 GPS Heart Rate Monitor and Sports Watch with Cadence €80

deisediva · 01-04-2015 4:45pm

Ah thanks but a bit far I had reserved in Waterford.

dhaughton99 · 01-04-2015 8:22pm

I notice the original link isn't working anymore. I have an sms and email reservation so hopefully I manage to get it.

dunworth1 · 01-04-2015 9:42pm

Do they ring you either way?

wheres me jumpa · 01-04-2015 9:44pm

Picked mine up today in Carlow. Assistant said they had a few more on back order, not sure if it was same price. Will give it a test run tomorrow.

Anyone know what the battery life is like after full charge?

Fuzzy Logic · 01-04-2015 10:22pm

I had 2 reservations in Waterford. They rang today to let me know the second arrived and told them to cancel it.

Boscoirl · 02-04-2015 1:11am

Tried setting mine up this evening. Couldn't get the heart rate monitor to connect. Tried everything short of getting in the shower with it but it didn't connect.

Will try fit the cadence sensor tomorrow

Maybe it only works when you are actually out cycling :L

seanin4711 · 02-04-2015 10:25am

Or watches for that matter?
Thanks

It wouldn't pick up mine either but I reckon it could be a battery that needs changing. I have a few batteries here I'll try it out later but the watch works flawlessly.

heraldo · 02-04-2015 2:20pm

I have two reservations, one @ €80 & one @ €64. I will collect the €64 one this evening and can pass on the €80 reservation if anyone want's it. It's reserved in the Blanchardstown store. PM me if interested.

€80 reservation now gone to another lucky boardsie who also got the 20% discount.
Great bargain, thanks OP.

andrew1977 · 02-04-2015 2:25pm

I picked mine in in Swords Airside at lunchtime today, 64 euro, well pleased with it.Great bargain

I have a spare code for 1 watch for 80 euro, ready and available for collection in the Drogheda store , Pm if anyone wants the code.

dublin runner · 02-04-2015 2:37pm

Now available in Liffey Valley and Blanch.

Now have a spare code for Liffey Valley for 80e if that's gone later. Just PM me.

When did you order the €64 watch heraldo and did you get a call to say they had it in store?
I reserved my watch on Tuesday and still no call from the blanch store.

Reserved the €80 one on Monday 30th, then reserved the €64 one on Tuesday 31st when the additional 20% offer was on. Rang the shop today and initially they said they were not in stock but they went to check deliveries and rang back about an hour ago to say it was available to collect, specifically the €64 one!

My wife just collected the €64 one for me, you just quote the reservation number.

brian2614 · 02-04-2015 4:13pm

Just picked mine up in Waterford @ €64 happy days!!!

RossieMan · 02-04-2015 4:44pm

Has anyone got the HRM working? Its one of the only reasons I've it reserved so not going to but if it doesn't work.

mac_daddy · 02-04-2015 5:06pm

Picked my €64 item up. Have a €80 item reserved still if anyone wants it. Pick up at Carrickmines, PM if interested.

Prefect_1998 · 02-04-2015 5:49pm

i have a reservation for liffey valley for today if anyone wants it for 80e

Xcellor · 02-04-2015 6:00pm

Impulsively bought one and got it for 64 euro. Seems to be way under the price I see it for on Amazon.

deisediva · 02-04-2015 6:43pm

Got call to say mine is available for pick up. Anyone use it yet buying as a present.

Did anyone chance using axa plus discount as well on it?

yes got it setup last night, didntvwork initially but wore it to walking super market round the corner, worked fine 70ish popped up a few times to 99 but worked, not used to wearing a watch again, all in all a solid deal, good spot op

A guy in the queue in front of me got one and he had an axa card which was accepted.

Got mine for 64 was reserved at 80. Thanks to a poster on here giving me a code. Much appreciated!

eringobragh · 02-04-2015 7:33pm

Great deal - thought the cadence sensor was missing didn't realise it was so small

I couldn't get the HRM working - I ran the multimeter over the battery and it was pushing 3volts - I changed the battery (can be got in the euro2 shop quite cheaply) and it worked

Very happy with it - now to start running again after a 6 month leave of absense

ooter · 02-04-2015 8:15pm

My Lidl bought HRM is fooked so i badly need a new one, Polar HRM's have a good reputation but they're expensive so I'm really hoping this one works, if it's just a battery issue happy days.

Michael Angelo. · 02-04-2015 8:24pm

If anyone has a reservation code can you please PM me.

howardmarks · 02-04-2015 8:26pm

Also thought the cadence sensor was missing. It's tiny. Wouldn't pay 30-50 quid it costs separately. Hrm on mine working perfectly after dabbing inside part with a little water. Have a reservation for Drogheda at 80 if anyone wants it

If you don't want an ugly cabletied magnet on your crank shaft these rare earth magnets will do the job

Just picked mine up in blanch for €64,the girl in the shop said they've had loads in collecting.

Same in Halfords Coolock - he had 15 on the counter said he was just about to call me, getting it for €64 let alone €80 is an absolute bargain

dunworth1 · 03-04-2015 2:14pm

my reservation is for pickup on Monday hope i get it

fletch · 03-04-2015 2:56pm

I have 2 reservations for Blanchardstown (my friend decided he couldn't afford it, missing out on a bargain but won't listen!) if anyone wants one.

dubdamo · 03-04-2015 6:23pm

Collected mine in Coolock, cadence sensor included

eringobragh · 03-04-2015 6:32pm

Took it out earlier - took over 10 minutes to get a gps lock - I was walking the dogs so only really testing, I read on the reviews it takes a bit of time to get a lock the first time you use it - so might be worth leaving it on the window sill before using it for the first time.

cunavalos · 03-04-2015 7:34pm

Collected mine in coolock as well this morning. The one i got has clearly been used the box was unopened and accessories still bagged but the watch was badly scuffed / damaged. Unit will not charge or turn on and looks to have dropped/ crashed. Wont get a chance to return until tuesday so will probably only get a refund as i presume there will be no stock left.

Do you think a better option will be to contact polar directly for warranty repair replacement?

lanno · 03-04-2015 8:00pm

if any one has a spare reservations code there not using in Dublin will take it

Anyone else with a spare reservation!

whiterebel · 03-04-2015 10:35pm

I did 2 reservations, one at the €80 and the second at €64. I picked up one at the €64 today, but the lady at the till said that it should be charged at the lowest price on the system anyway. I have the €80 reservation for Halfords Cork if anyone wants to try it. PM me for details. It has to be collected by Sunday.

Code gone to Gerard93
