Hi everyone,
I'm looking into buying a heart rate monitor, but there so many choices it has become a bit overwhelming. Does anyone recommend a good heart rate monitor that I can use for my triathlon training?
Thanks
GC

I think it mostly depends on what you're looking for. I use the Suunto Advizor, which I love. However, it can't transfer its data to a computer, so I may be changing devices.

I use the Polar 720. I like the altitude sensor. We also got the cadence sensor for Christmas last year. That's great to have when you're doing a workout on the trainer. All the info downloads to the computer.

Veronica, I meant to ask you on the Polar 720 -- do you have to buy a magnet for each bike? What is the set up for using with multiple bikes.
Here's hoping that REI carries this thing so we can use our dividend towards one.

You have to buy multiple speed sensors and the magnets come with those. But for where I like to mount them, the magnets were too weak. Thom had ordered some huge super magnets with hooks for me for school (which sucks right now BTW) and the company included for free some little but very powerful magnets and I added them to the speed sensor magnets. Problem solved.

Magnets for monitors

Sorry, I'm a bit behind. We have had the same problems. Where did Thom get these magnets? How big are they? Apparently there's no problem attaching them. I'm going to the States to visit my grandkids on April 1. If possible, I could order them and have them sent to my son's house.
Thanks for your help
We enjoy your comments, Veronica. I hope I'll be able to comment soon...when the work lets up. Meanwhile, my secretary monitors everything for me.
Good biking. BarbYou're never too old!
