Devices in Polar GoFit

Polar GoFit is compatible with the Polar heart rate measuring devices (sensors and watches) that use Bluetooth^® Smart technology. See more information on the compatible devices in Polar GoFit Compatible Devices. It is mandatory to register the devices to Polar GoFit before starting to use them. Heart rate data cannot be monitored in the Polar GoFit app or transferred to the Polar GoFit web service before the devices have been registered.

The device IDs are inserted into Polar GoFit at registration, and the registered devices are labeled with stickers. Devices are registered to the web service only once.

After registration, the devices can be assigned to students so that their heart rate data can be monitored in the Polar GoFit app and transferred to the web service. One device can be assigned to several students at the same time provided that the students are not participating in the same course. Moreover, students can participate in several heart rate courses at a time, which is why they can also have several devices assigned to them.

For instructions on registering devices to the web service, see Registering heart rate measuring devices. See also Assigning heart rate measuring devices.

It is possible for individual students to purchase their own heart rate measuring device and wear them instead of school devices. Devices purchased by students need to be registered to Polar GoFit, too. For more information, see Using a personal heart rate measuring device.
