Timex - Polar Compatibility?

Does anyone know whether a Polar HRM strap can be detected by a bodylink system Timex watch or vice versa (the timex band and polar watch)? Just wondering whether you need to by the full system if you already have a Polar coded watch (S610, although also have a non coded Polar chest strap)

Thanks in advance.

Just for you, I just did an experiment with my Polar HRM strap and my watch from the Timex Bodylink system and…no dice. Zippo.

I think they both work on completely different premises, the Timex uses FM frequency whereas the Polar uses something else so no, they will not.

Ok cool thanks Spot, JP

Unfortunately that now means I have to buy the full bodylink system!
