beetle -

i tend to agree. pick the items you want specifically that will help yo uwork out.

i wanted an HR that displayed my HR and the time, or some kind of time, so that i can do my intervals.

mine is a timex and cost me about 80$ canadian. its available at Mountain Equipment Coop online. (i didn't buy it there thoughi bought it at a conference).

i'm not crazy about the polar brand simply because when the strap battery dies you actually have to ship it back to polar. to me i still feel its an inconvenience. but i know the watches themselves are quite good.

somepeople love having the download and the charts. but think about what will keep YOU motivated to continue.
