Got a lekker Polar HRM. Died a fading death this weekend. Now it is cheaper to replace the HRM due to the age and tech of almost 1 and a half year.

 

 

 

I am looking for a new HRM but I do not know which one to choose.

 

 

 

What I am looking for is a HRM that can sinc with a PC.

 

 

 

I would like to log my training for once so that I know of any progress made, but it must keep at least 5 days of data.

 

 

 

Any advice?

The Polar S720i is a good call!!  I got one and the software which comes with it makes it a good training companion

720i is good, or if you really want to be fancy the new Garmin GPS hrm combo - not sure what its proper "designation" is GARMIN 301 or something like..

The Garmin will also definitly be my next toy . The only problem apparently with this thing is the battery live.

When i bought my last bike they gave me a Delphin 5.0. Has all the usual speed sensor funtions but also a HR and cadence sensor . It has no auto PC interface like polar 720 or 725  but beats my 520 and i have yet to have a false reading on it.

Thanks for your posts. I just placed a order with CWC. I chose the S725x.

Nothing less than a Polar 720... Any other make is out. Have heard personally from a dealer saying that most of the other makes he has comebacks. The Polar tends to give you problems only when the battries start going flat.

Happy hunting.....!

The new Garmin cycling specific units are the Edge 205 and 305.

 

I recently bought the 305 complete with H/R and Cadence sensors and

have not found the battery life to be a problem at all, easily lasting

up to 4 hours on training rides. Visit www.garmin.co.za for more info
