Question: Will this monitor transmit in the water?
Answer: Generally ANT technology does not transmit in the water.

Question: What is the difference between and RS800 and RS800CX?
Answer: The RS800CX has extra ports to allow more receivers to connect with it. Example, you could not add on the Cycling Speed or Cadence Sensors with the older RS800 version but you can with the CX models.

Question: I need a new transmitter, which one do I purchase, they look the same.
Answer: The Polar WIND or W.I.N.D transmitter is the model you need. There is a wearlink 31 version that looks the same but is not compatible with the RS800 series.
