Subject: RE: watch's You can do much better than the $90 MRSP. I just bought one for around $60 new (ebay) I'm on my third Timex Ironman HRM - only because I'm so hard on them. I wear one as my regular watch and never take it off, so I've beat up two pretty badly over the past 4 years and just got my third one recently. Pros: waterproof, two minute battery change (lasts about a year), chest strap registers on the Polar treadmills at my gym, relatively inexpensive, can wear as an everyday watch. Some models (Bodylink) you can get optional GPS/speed/distance pods. Cons: like your watch, I had a hard time replacing a broken wrist strap. The models of HRM I used had an integrated band that moulded into the watch casing, so changing it was out of the question. Otherwise, I really like them. I wish they would come out with an OVA model like some of their watches. Edited by sty 2008-02-08 11:42 AM
