Data Questions

• The Polar S410, S510 and S520 can store up to six workouts, but they can only download the most recent one. Therefore, you will want to download after each workout whenever possible. Once you start a new workout, the previous one will be condensed into a summary file and can no longer be downloaded. You can still manually retrieve the summary data from the watch.
• The Polar S610, S610i, S625X, S710, S710i, S720 and S725 can store up to 99 hours of workouts and download all of them onto the day they were performed.
