Mutt Posted March 27, 2009 Share Wot's a vitality point? Its a point from discovery vitality - its like a benefits scheme for making healthy choices. Discounts, cashback rebates from PnP, cheaper flights etc.... https://www.discovery.co.za/index_login.jhtml?p_brand_css=/StyleSheets/screen_vitality.css&p_content=/content/view_content.jhtml&p_template=1&p_alias=indv_discovery_vitality&p_path=what_is_vitality/what_is_vitality.xml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudda Posted March 27, 2009 Share With a polar f6 (cheapie) U can download your training to the polar personal trainer and record your progress http://www.polar.fi/en/support/downloads?product=&category=Software&documenttitle=Polar+WebLink+Software&document=/gip/PKBStoGIP.nsf/web_cat/C225742500419A8AC2256F1E0027E01E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minion Posted March 27, 2009 Share The Garmin Forerunner 50 HR costs around R1100 and seems to come with complete recording and download features. I believe it would be the cheapest option if you want to be able to analyse details of your training, rather than just the summaries you get on cheaper Polar models. It doesn't have a GPS receiver, but you can use it with the Garmin speed/cadence sensor (R800). You just need to make sure you use third-party software, such as Sporttracks (free), instead of the k*k Garmin Training Center software. For reference, a Polar S725X will cost around R3000 from eBay or Totalcycling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genesis Posted March 27, 2009 Share I had an RS200 which was great for HR monitoring. Mainly for running though. As I spent most of my time on a bike and taking price into consideration, I got a CS300. Very happy indeed, does all my cycling needs and still does the running HR monitoring as well. Cadence meter can be used with CS300 as well.If you on Discovery then Polar is no brainer cause of Vitality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted a simple device that is easy to download to PC. Does its job really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CScriba Posted March 27, 2009 Share !!! HI JACK ON : whats the price for the polar cs600 without power, only HR and cadence ?? HI JACK OFF !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 27, 2009 Share The Blackburn Delphi 6 does all of that, includes HR, wireless cadence & speed functions (and the shpongles to make them work), together with downloadability as well. All for around R1,200 depending on where you go. I'm going to get myself one of those shortly. It's bike specific though... the only drawback. cptmayhem2009-03-27 13:30:12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
