Guest Big H Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 My advice. If you want a HRM buy Polar..... that is what they specialise in... Why buy a HRM form somebody who sells GPS's?????? Bad choice I would say.'cos they're better? I replaced my Polar 725 with my Edge 305 as soon as I was given onethat worked properly (a year and a half ago). The one thing I have neverhad an issue with is the HRM functionality and I really cannot see anydifference between the Edge as a HRM and the Polar (except of coursefor the obvious bits like format/size and battery life). They work exactly thesame way and give exactly the same numbers.The Polar is more convenient in that it is a watch' date=' but the Edge is moreconfigurable and is also a GPS. I like the GPS functionality, so prefer theEdge. I also prefer the cycling computer format of the Edge (display size,ability to display more data, backlighting, ...) so for me it's the bettercycling computer. It's cr@p to run with, though - the Polar is much betterthere...HRM wise: no difference.[/quote'] So you like half things.... you ride half a bike (not a tandem) you have half a GPS, you have half a HRM..... get real!!!!!!!!!

jmaccelari Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 So you like half things.... you ride half a bike (not a tandem) you have half a GPS' date=' you have half a HRM..... get real!!!!!!!!![/quote']Nope - I speak from experience. I ride "half" bikes and a "whole" one (yep I am the proud owner of a tandem).I also use a "whole" cycling computer - the Edge. The Polar is "half" a solutionin your terms! I have used both and prefer the Edge. The advantages of the Polar area decent format for running, good battery life - and I almost forgot: temperature. That is a dumb @ss thing: why don't Garmin provide temperature? It's usedby the unit for corrections, so why not allow the user to use it?
linnega Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 ... bluetooth is bluetooth .... duh ... Not really. There are different versions. 1.2 and 2.0 are pretty common across gadgets these days and may not necessarily be compatible, particularly if you don't have software to pair the two gadgets. Your phone is Bluetooth 2.0 but the Nuvi 710 may well be 1.2 and not compatible. Admittedly though, Garmin could provide better service by actually providing a reason for any compatibility issues so that you can discover if your phone is compatible despite not being listed.
Call Me Crazy Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Once you had a Dell laptop, you'll never buy an HP again. Spot on Linnega. That is usually(99%) the problem if you have bluetooth issues.
word Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Once you had a Dell laptop' date=' you'll never buy an HP again. ? [/quote'] Had Dell and now on Mac. The Mac is awesome once you complete the transition. On the Garmin, no problems at all. It is awesome.
AfreekduSoet Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 What I would like to see is companies putting some conviction behind their products. Such as a certain Notebook manufacturer offers a 3 year international warranty and within the first year should any hardware component fail they will repair the notebook and refund you the purchase price.......hows that for believing in the stuff you sell!!! Who is this manufacturer??
turtlek Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 my garmin has also been switching off lately i called jason the guy in charge about three weeks ago and i am still waiting for a reply nice ofhim to get back to me especially seeing as i have had no problem in the past and was looking to upgrade to the 705 now i am just going to go buy a powertap or srm instead
