Don't Waste Your Money

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: You name it

I bought a Polar CS300 about two months ago and I'm getting ready to send back the fourth watch to Polar. For those that don't know this monitor can upload your ride to Polars website via a sonic link. Well the first one had such a low volume it would take forever before I could get a good upload. Called Polar, sent it back and they sent me another one. Had the exact same problem. Sent it back, got another one. This one was fine as far a the uplink, ...
...quit showing, then the cadence would quit and the speed would start up. Then the heart rate would go crazy then the speed would quit. So on and so on. Sent it back, and got the fourth one yesterday. Went for a ride this morning, got back, tried to upload and nothing. Not a peep out of it. And they have the nerve to tell me they have had no problems with this watch. Ladies and gentelmen, don't waste your money. ...

Suunto Vector Black Negative face

Advantages: Light weight, good features if calibrated properly. Rugged.
Disadvantages: Quite big, but it does do a lot to be fair!!!!

...the older watches in the suunto range it doesn't have the function as some of the newer one s do of being able to freeze the altimeter mode when at home and leave it in Barometer mode and then switch to Altimeter when out hiking, but i don't see this as any major deal.

Review of Timex Target Fitness Digital Heart Rate Monitor

HR Monitoring Made Easy

Advantages: Great range fo features, great accesories, reliable brand
Disadvantages: Very expensive compared to other heart rate monitors

...different manufacturers, such as Polar, Suunto and Garmin amongst many others I decided to opt for a Suunto T3, which was not the cheapest and basic but it definitely is not at the top end either. It is described as ?the ideal heart rate monitor for casual use?. ****What is it?**** The Suunto T3 is a training aid consisting of a watch and heart rate belt that measures your performance whilst carrying out any sports activity including running, cycling, ...
...exercise data in to a Suunto software package. The T3 does not have this capability, nor is there the opportunity to get this as an add-on. Whilst I would like the above feature I thought it was a bit too much and could not justify the additional cost for the model that had this function. ****Negatives**** There is no multi user function and the T3 can only be set up for one person. Whilst some may not see this as such a bad thing, after all would ...
