The Tell-Tale Heart Rate Monitor

Want 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?

Don't we all? I'm sure my plan isn't happy with my current "the weather is lovely, go ride!" choice of activity... ho hum.

The Suunto has just clinched it with audible cadence warnings when running. Off to dodgy internet shop geezers go I!

Have you purchased yet? I had some comments about lack of GPS accuracy in woods from a friend last night.

Woods are always a killer for GPS unless you buy the primo Garmin WazzRunner X-nine-million. Woods certainly kill my little Etrex as effectively as London will.

I have purchased and am awaiting delivery with eager sweaty palms...
