Advantages: Compact, Cheap, Robust Disadvantages: Tricky to use
I have owned one of these for about 2 years now, and it is still going strong. It does all the usual cycle computer things, but also displays your heartrate, calories burned, etc. You can also programme to use on 2 separate bikes - very handy, when like me you have two bikes but don't want to shell out for two computers!!
SETUP AND USE
Easy to follow step by step instructions. When it comes to operating the computer unit, this is where you need patience. It takes some practice going through each programme, sub-programme, etc. This is one way that the unit can be kept the size that it is though. Once you have dialled in the settings specific to your bike, day to day use of the computer is easy.
POSITIVES
Large read out.
Back light - can be tricky to use though.....when it's dark.
Compact design.
Wireless speed sensor ...
Advantages: Just like having your own personal trainer Disadvantages: A little tricky to work out to start with
Polar RS100 Heart Rate Monitor
This is the second heart rate monitor that i have bought, the first one was years ago and on the rare occaision it did pick up your pulse it went completely wrong if you were near anything electrical or any other heartratemonitors. Bearing this in mind i was a liitle wary of getting another but i have currently started training to complete a half marathon and depending on how well it goes i may enter a full marathon so i thought it was high time i got myself kitted out.
I have to say, times have definately changed, this monitor just everything you could ever ask (except for the running)!
The Polar RS100 heart rate monitor has its own code to avoid unwanted interference meaning you can be in a room with ten other monitors and yours is the only pulse it picks up
It features an easy press lap ...
Advantages: Manage your heart rate to a very high level Disadvantages: I wouldnt use this watch if I wanted to measure how far I had run
I was given on of these as a birthday present last year. I'm into running and wanted to monitor my fitness progress. The watch comes with the heart monitor band which goes around your chest and a optional food pod, which can be used to measure the distance you travel. I personally find the food pod hard work as it is very hard to get accurate. It works on how many foot steps you make and the distance in between the steps, getting this right is an exercise in itself .The watch has multiple functions which allow you to monitor your heartrate, and allows you to enter your own perameters so you can keep your heartrate as low or high as you want.
The watch can also be used in conjunction with some of you gyms equipment (ask your gym).
In terms of polar watches this watch has alot to give, with a pc program to upload your information ...
