andygatesWant one. Running to keep my pace up, and roller riding. And geeksmile-inducement. Gotta burn that overtime and given a choice between toys and, say, floorboards, the toys win out. You know me.
It's down to the Polar RS200SD and the Suunto T3 with a footpod. I'm mostly decided on the Suunto - both are about £150 and the polar's slightly greater functions bear off against the Suunto's modularity and brand cachét. But before I splash my cash, I'm just fishing for opinions. Has anyone used these?

Date: 2006-11-01 09:23 am (UTC)I don't have experience of either or those models, but I have owned a Polar M21 since September 2001. The only annoyance so far was having to send it off to Polar to get batteries renewed (in November 2004). Other than that it has worked well and I'd be happy to buy Polar products again.
Having said that, the impressive battery life may be due to it being used more as a watch than a HRM...
