Polar RS800cx

[paulvs]

What is your impression of the new unit replacing the old S72x range?

 

Or would you prefer to go the Garmin 705 route?

Depends on what you want to use it for, the Polar is very nice, but as far as I know it does not have GPS.

Still a nice Polar to have

Does not work in water, whereas the old 725 did. So you cant get data while swimming

Bought me one with GPS.

 

Just ask for the RS800cx Multi. More or less the same price as the one that comes with bike sensor or footpod but I'm using it for running, cycling and swimming and picks up signals very good. You can also downoad onto google earth and track your routes looking something like below, obviously much clearer and with a lot of functions.

 

The wearlink transmitter doesn't pick up heart rate under water through.

From all the reads and previous post on similar subject the Polar seems to be the best.

Go for the Polar CS100, much cheaper and also tells you your speed, distance and averages

The RS800CX is awesome! Would like to get the GPS module though.....
