I'm a 40B (up from a 38A when I got married. Happens to all of us)
I've been pretty impressed with the Polar S625x. It does your HR, and more importantly for me, Speed and Distance using a dinky little foot "pod". So far, I'd agree with all the claims they make on their site. Accruate, light, reliable. I haven't used the exercise sets, for doing interval training or staying in HR zone stuff, but the London tri even had a training plan you can download to the Polar series. I started too late to make it worth it. Nice graphs on the PC too, showing how pussy you were.
Only issue I have is I got the optional bike sensor recently, fitted it, and it works...kind of. The range doesn't seem to reach from the sensor on the fork to the handlebars, so I have to ride with one hand down by the front wheel.
