Subject: Cateye or Polar ? decisions...decisions...

 

   I want to buy a nice bike computer with HR and cadence and was looking at the Polar cs200 or Cateye V3. 

I am open to other units as well, these are just ones that caught my eye. I like the large display these have and seem nice but this is the first time I have looked at these and the selection is pretty large, so any input is welcomed.

I like the Garmin 705 but that is a bit out of my range.

 Thanks in advance

What about the Garmin 305 ? May be a little more expensive with the mount/sensor but may be close enough to warrant a look.

  Thanks. The Garmin 305 looks very good for running, however for cycling I kinda like the traditional large bike display on a bike mount, rather than a wrist watch. At 46 my sight is going ( amoung other things) and on the bumpy roads those big display's are nice.

  Any other suggestions ?

I too, have been lusting after the Polar CS200cad. Right now, Probikekit.com has it for $125 (no tax, free shipping)...which is a steal, IMO...compared to the CatEye V3.
