 DOES work well - Please Read for Helpful Information March 15, 2010
Landon Dodd (USA)

First off, this product works amazingly well. Works 98% of the time on the first try with no interference, amazingly easy to upload and track information via [...]. Please note several things that may require this item to not work on your computer that many people overlook:
1) The installation software MUST be downloaded via Internet Explorer.
When I tried to download the software via Google Chrome or FireFox, the Daemon would not install at all, which rendered the product useless, as this daemon file is what allows the upload to the polar website. If you don't download the software via internet explorer, odds are it won't work. Tried this on 4 computers, none of which would install it correctly using ANY browser other than Internet Explorer.
2) The FlowLink itself can NOT sit on a metal surface and successfully sync your Heart-rate Monitor.
It says in the instructions, in smaller print, that the syncing process is based on a magnetic field to transfer data between your watch and the flowlink pad. If the pad itself is on a metal surface, such as a metal desk, the sync between the watch and your computer has a *very* high chance of failure. I experimented with this and found that it only successfully synced about 30% of the time on a metal surface compared with 98% success on my wooden desk. Please take note of this.
3) Despite what the website and other reviewers say, the software and the product are both very compatible with OS's.
This product is NOT compatible with a Mac, unfortunately, but it is widely compatible with Windows. I have installed on 4 different machines, 2 running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, one running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit and one running Windows XP 64-bit. Works flawlessly on all of the installed machines, so those that complain about a lack of Windows 7 or 64-bit support are probably either trying to download with a browser other than Internet Explorer or have their FlowLink sitting on a metal desk.
**NOTE**
Be sure to right click the installer file and select "Run as Administrator" when you install. This file does install a Daemon file, which is writing directly to the Windows Services part of the OS. This requires administrator privileges, and just to be safe, make sure that you don't skip this step!!
I hope you all find this review helpful, as these are some tidbits of information that I believe will solve most of the problems that people are experiencing. Good luck and happy training!
Cheers,
Landon

I have the Polar FT40 HRM and syncing the watch via the flowlink has never failed. There has never been an alignment issue. The watch is aligned immediately after placing the watch on the flowlink. Data transfer starts automatically. I've never had a failure thus far. The usefulness of analyzing
data on the Polar personal trainer website is perhaps not that useful as at least one other reviewer noted.
No Problems, Whatsoever March 3, 2010

I was hesitant to purchase this to use with my FT60 given some of the negative reviews, yet I have not been disappointed.
There have been no problems at all with this, and I have used it for about 3-weeks now. From the first sync, it has worked quickly and without fail. In addition, my wife also got an FT60 last week, and it is very easy to set up, recognizing the two different FT60s, and synching each to the appropriate polar account.
If your nervous about getting this, don't be. Based on how well mine works, if you are having problems, you may need to return it for a new unit.
FlowLink is a snap to use. March 2, 2010

I have a FT60 heart rate monitor and was concerned by the mixed reviews but really wanted the feedback potential of this product. I'm a novice when it comes to downloading and setting up programs but this was a snap. My first data transfer was flawless and accomplished in seconds. Fear not!
