Polar Heart Rate Monitor

[Guest poser]

Big H you can set it up to actaully also stop when you do . But it does not work to great . It is much easier just to edit the file and remove periods where you stopped .

 

D R ..can you tell me how to do this?

I'm happy with my S725. It's a good allround HR monitor and the ability to download sessions to your PC is very useful.

If you're looking at getting a new one' date=' you should consider Ebay. I saved about R1000 on mine by ordering it from one of the large stores there.
You also don't need to spend money on the (expensive) Polar infrared interface.
Something like this:
IRDA Adapter
will work just as well and if you have a laptop with an infrared port, you shouldn't even need that.[/quote']

 

ditto.. this is the one i bought a while ago: http://cgi.ebay.com/POLAR-S725X-HRM-PRO-TEAM-FREE-CADENCE-S725-725-725X-08_W0QQitemZ280225952553QQihZ018QQcategoryZ30108QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Works well on long rides too - have done Baviaans and One Day - long hours and no problem with battery life. In fact I am still running the same batteries after 15 months of riding - anyone know how long they do last?

 

Just watch the settings for a long ride - if you want to get the temp over the route, you need to set the lap counter as only this records the temperature...
