Galileo is diving technology made easy. It is an intuitive tool which monitors all aspects of the
dive to provide you with accurate information relative to your individual experience. Galileo
offers an array of features to enhance your diving pleasure.
• Listen to your body with built-in heart rate monitor technology for ultimate safety
and peace of mind (patent pending). Enjoy the heart rate monitor with workload
measurement integrated in the algorithm, brought to you thanks to a unique partnership
between Polar and UWATEC. Heart rate can be called up on the display at any point
of the dive. Dive profi le and heart rate curve are stored in Galileo's memory for later
analysis. After the dive, heart data can be downloaded to a personal computer through
SmartTRAK, the dedicated UWATEC software, then analyzed.
• Personalize your Galileo (patent pending): customize the display according to your
preferences, choose your language for warnings and menus.
