Polar RCX5 Tour De France GPS LIMITED EDITION COMMEMORATIVE COLLECTOR'S ITEM

Description

TOTAL ORIGINAL RETAIL WAS ABOUT 0, plus today's retail of for the H10 heart rate sensor, which is unused. In function, it is competitive with many watch systems which sell for over 0 today.
Polar RCX5 Tour De France GPS. PLEASE NOTE: FIRST PHOTO SHOWS CADENCE SENSOR BUT THIS SENSOR IS NOT INCLUDED, BECAUSE I DID NOT BUY IT AS AN OPTION. It may be available from another EBAY seller.
Included are: RCX5 watch, G5 GPS sensor, USB download stick, Polar H10 chest strap (unused), charger and USB cable (not pictured)  for G5 GPS
See Polar's manual for the G5 GPS sensor:
https://support.polar.com/e_manuals/G5_GPS/Polar_G5_GPS_Sensor_accessory_manual_English.pdf
Polar has manuals for all items included in this auction.
The H10 is a current model with a retail selling price of .95. See it on the Polar website.
I bought this watch and accessories new myself, and always enjoy the memory of visiting the Tour de France, which just finished Sunday.
The watch itself is water resistant to 30M. Polar recommends it for swimming.
It cleans up well with a little soap and water; no scratches or nicks on the watch or its accessories. Very minor signs of wear on the clip case for the GPS unit.
You can change the battery with a nickel and no tools; I put a new battery in recently, to check the screen and functions, which are all fine.
The GPS unit is water resistant and comes with a clip case for a water backpack or clips to a shirt or other clothing.
All functions work. Polar has had free software to make the best use of all functions, which have included distance, mapping, elevation profile of the ride. I believe that Polar supports calorie functions with the website now; please check if you wish to use it that way. It's possible that the software is now part of a Polar subscription; see www.polar.com for details
Here are the best descriptions I have found for this commemorative watch kit:
"Alright folks, we’ve talked about
Polar
before, but this new piece demands attention.  The
RCX5
now comes in a new color, a Lancesque take on the previously black or red watch.  The RCX5 is an awesome training aid, offering a very slim profile for the feature packed piece of equipment that it is.  It will allow you to track your heart rate, calculating how many calories you’re using up. Another heart rate based feature is Polar’s Zone Optimizer.  This helps you take your workouts at the right intensity based on your goals, endurance, weight loss, cardio exercise.  The GPS piece that comes with the watch gives you even more information on your workouts, tracking your speed, distance, and route that you took.  Unique for us, the Tour de France edition also adds in a cadence sensor for the cyclists out there.
NOTE: I DID NOT BUY THE CADENCE SENSOR AND IT IS NOT INCLUDED, but you should be able to find one.
This gives you more cycling specific information once attached to your bike.  We’ve got these great training aids in
the store
right now, so stop by so we can get yours set up today.

Body measurement features
Automatic age-based target zone – bpm / %
To help you train safely and effectively, the training computer determines your heart rate target zone limits automatically according to your age-based maximum heart rate (220 minus age). The limits are determined either in beats per minute (bpm), as a percentage (%) of your maximum heart rate, or as a heart rate reserve (% HRR). See also Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and Manual target zone.
Average and maximum heart rate of each lap
Average, minimum and maximum heart rate of training
Heart rate – bpm / %
Heart rate is the measurement of the work your heart does. Heart rate can be expressed as the number of beats per minute or as percentage of your maximum heart rate. Heart rate can also be expressed as a percentage of your heart rate reserve, meaning the difference between your resting heart rate and maximum heart rate (HRR = HRmax - HRrest). In Polar software or during strength training, heart rate can be displayed as a graphical trend.
HR-based target zones with visual and audible alarm
You can define your target zones for a training session based on heart rate to help define the right intensity. When you are out of the preset zones, the training computer will give a visual and audible alarm.
HRmax (age-based)
The highest number of heart beats per minute (bpm) during maximum physical exertion. For a rough estimate of your maximum heart rate, subtract your age from 220. HRmax is a useful tool for determining the intensity of training as intensity zones can be defined using HRmax. Some Polar products define maximum heart rate during the Polar Fitness Test, see also HRmax (Polar Fitness Test -based).
HRmax (Polar Fitness test-based)
Some Polar products predict your HRmax simultaneously with the Polar Fitness Test. This predicted HRmax value is more accurate than the age-based formula (220 minus age).
HRmax (user set)
Manual target zone – bpm / %
This feature enables you to define the target zone as you want and is suitable for your training. You can set the target zone for your training as beats per minute (bpm), as a percentage of your maximum heart rate, or as a percentage of your heart rate reserve (HRR%).
Polar Fitness Test
Polar Fitness Test measures your aerobic fitness at rest in just five minutes. The result, Polar OwnIndex, evaluates your maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). With the Polar Fitness Test you can measure your aerobic fitness by yourself, automatically and without any exertion. All you need is your training computer. The Polar Fitness Test is as accurate in predicting the VO2max as any sub maximal fitness test. The test is based on heart rate and heart rate variability at rest and personal information.
Polar OwnCal® – calorie expenditure with fat percentage
Polar OwnCal calculates the number of kilocalories expended during training. This feature allows you to follow the kilocalories expended during one training session and cumulative kilocalories expended during several training sessions. Some Polar products also estimate the fat-burning percentage (fat% on display), that is, kilocalories expended from fat during a workout which is expressed as a percentage of the total kilocalories burned.
Polar OwnCode® (5kHz/2.4 GHz W.I.N.D.) - coded transmission
Polar sport zones
Polar sport zones provide an easy way to select and monitor the intensity of your training and to follow sport zones based training programs. Training is divided into five zones based on percentages of your maximum heart rate: very light (50-60%HRmax), light (60-70%HRmax), moderate (70-80%HRmax), hard (80-90%HRmax) and maximum (90-100%HRmax).
Polar ZoneOptimizer - personalized sport zones
ZoneOptimizer adjusts personal sport zones for every training session based on your current physiological condition. This feature gives you the right heart rate zones depending on your physiological state at that exact moment, making sure that the you are always training at the right intensity.

G5 GPS sensor features
Distance based interval
Distance – training, lap, trip and total
Distance (km, mi) can be set and measured in several ways. Training distance tells you the distance traveled during a training session. Trip distance tells you the distance from the latest trip reset. Lap distance tells you the distance of one lap. Total distance is the distance accumulated since the last reset. Odometer tells you the cumulative distance which you cannot reset.
Race Pace
Race Pace allows you to set a target speed/pace for a certain distance. It then helps pacing the run or ride by showing the current speed/pace and by telling in time, how much you are behind or ahead of the set target.
Route mapping – opt. with polarpersonaltrainer.com web service
Running Index
Running Index is based on heart rate and speed data measured during the run. It gives daily information about your performance level, both aerobic fitness and running economy. Improvement in running efficiency indicates improved economy of running performance.
Speed/Pace – current, average and maximum
Speed (km/h or mi/h) is measured with GPS, footpod, stride sensor or cycling speed sensor. Pace (expressed as min/km or min/mile) stands for the rate of speed. Pace is usually used in running. By setting a target pace, you can follow how fast you need to run in order to reach a certain distance in a predefined time.
Speed/Pace-based target zones with visual and audible alarm
You can define your target zones for a training session based on speed. When you are out of the preset zones, the training computer will give a visual and audible alarm.
SpeedPointer
SpeedPointer feature tells you your speed within set speed limits.
Polarpersonaltrainer.com features
