Mutt Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 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
mudda Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 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
Minion Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 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.
Genesis Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 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.

Just wanted a simple device that is easy to download to PC. Does its job really well.
CScriba Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 !!! HI JACK ON : whats the price for the polar cs600 without power, only HR and cadence ?? HI JACK OFF !!!
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 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
