"I would love more data, but this is a great HRM. I would still use if I had a GPS because of the ability to swim in when racing. "badgerintx

Ease of use

Very simple set up and easy to set up and continue to use. Great for races because it can be worn on the swim and will get decent readings if under a tri suit or a wetsuit. (I don't usually swim in mine cause I just don't see the need)

(5)

Quality of Construction

Has been bulletproof except for the annoying fact you have to send to polar to have the battery changed. I think it might be cheaper just to buy a new one at that time. At least they update the software.

(5)

Comfort

Decent Chest strap and watch is not to bulky.

(5)

Durability

See above

(5)

Value

Good HRM for the $$$$.

(5)

Appearance

Not bulky..which makes wetsuit removal with HRM on that much easier in T1.

(5)

Customer Service

Been helpful the 3 times I need information and they have an decent forum on thier website for help.

(4)

Performance

Does everything it is supposed to. My only complaint is the unit will lock up about every 6 weeks during a workout and unless you catch it and reset it you will not get any data. Maybe I am just overusing it?

Strengths

Easy to use....Can swim in for training or during races if you want the data which creates one less thing to mess with in T1.

Weakness

Sometimes will randomly lock up.....is this a cross over issue with other users in a spin class or group run? I haven't been able to figure that one out yet.
