I have been using a POLAR S625 X and I am satisfied with it. I bought an extra upgrade for the bike, and it works perfectly.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

I am using a polar rs200 since last april for running, biking and swimming (latter without the belt, of course), with complete satisfaction. I use it often as a regular wrist watch too. It also allows for the running speed monitoring upgrade with the footpod that can be bought separately.

Of course you will want a different model if your first discipline is running, or hiking, or fitness, etc.

btw timex watches are half the price but I never regretted spending more on the polar.

good luck,

Levente

I highly recommend the Garmin 305. If that is too expensive, then I echo the previous poster. Polar is the best. My first polar HRM cost me $32.00, and while it doesn't have 5 zones, it does have the one zone I need, and I use it to this day. It was worth every penny.

Polar. Hands down the best you can buy. They have a large variety of models based on your sport. Check out their website.
