Polar 725X: issue with odometer reading

[Harryn]

I recently acquired a speed sensor for my 2nd bike, and inserted the odometer reading for that bike (from the readingmy old cycle computer). The problem is that when I did that, the watch  deleted the odometer reading of the first bike, and this deletion was also uploaded to the polar personal trainer software on my laptop.

 

Try as I might I just do not seem to be able to get the watch or the software to capture and maintain 2 seperate readings for each bike. Even though there are seperate fields per radio button for each bike, they both display the same reading, and that reading goes up irrespective which bike I have ridden.

 

I just cannot understand how the watch and the software caters for 2 bikes and their respective settings, but cannot seem to handle an odometer reading for each? Maybe I doing something stupidly wrong!

 

Has anyone else experienced this? is there a solution?

I think the odometer is meant to track your riding distance, rather than your bikes'. The separate bike settings are there to provide an easy way to do this.

 

If you want to track mileage per bike, you can use Sporttracks. It has a plugin the allows direct uploads from your Polar.
