Upgrade from Polar RS800CX

[Shazybug]

Hello

 

I am looking for some advice on upgrading my Polar. I cycle (road, mtb), run and gym. The polar fills all my requirements except for the fact it has no built-in gps. I therefore have to carry my smartphone for strava and for running. I do not have the gps unit for the Polar.

 

I have been toying with the idea of selling the Polar (with 2 sets of WIND sensors) and buying either the TomTom multisport or the Suunto Ambit 2. Will either of these options give me an upgrade over my Polar? I would like to have all the current functionality of my Polar but add gps, strava integration, live comparison of how far or behind I am on my current ride vs. previous ride, and maybe a routing feature to allow me to get back to the starting point on unknown trails.

 

Don't want to drop the cash and then be disappointed. Would really appreciate some advice.

 

Thanks

Have a look at the Polar V800 topic

 

https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/134877-new-polar-v800-now-available/

 

The V800 has all the features of the RS800CX with a couple more including a GPS.

There is also a couple of exporting tools available should you want to import it to strava or any other 3rd party software.

If you want to upgrade from polar you have to go Garmin.

 

Mods can now close the thread, it has run its course.

V 800 would also get my vote. That or the garmin fenix. Both very good looking watches as well
