I have the Polar (cs-300 I think) and I like it although the wrist watch is big. I wanted one unit I could use for the bike and the run, and I didn't have a cadence sensor so this seemed like a logical option. Although now that I can actually run, I do wish I had GPS, but I can pretty well estimate the distance based on time.
The HR has been a big help to me. It lets me know I'm jogging too hard. On the bike it's horribly slow (and frustrating sometimes) to keep my HR low, but I know it's what I need to do right now. I don't wear it to swim.
As for the strap, I don't mind the regular HR strap -- I don't even know it's there. (I'm too big to wear one of Polar's bras.)

"Keep plugging along. The finish line is getting closer with every step. When you see it, you won't remember that you are hurting, that anything has gone wrong, or just how slow or fast you are.
You will just know that you are going to finish and that was what you set out to do."
-- Michael Pate, "When Big Boys Tri"
