Thanks everyone.

I think I've started to narrow down my options. In the Polar category I'm looking at the F11 (thanks for the info aicabsolut), the CS300, and the S150. The Suunto T3 looks pretty good to me, too. I had read a bit about them but it is good to hear they are accurate and hold up well.

And the Garmin is still tempting me. Kelownagirl: I think that motionbased looks really cool. Easy to use and pretty comprehensive. Mr Silver: I think I remember you posting one of your graphs from you Garmin. I like that you can see so much data on one graph. And I'll PM Silver to get her vote.

I like that I can connect it to my computer so easily. For the Polars it seems I'd need to get an infrared port or it uses soniclink and I don't have a microphone. I don't really like that. But there are pros and cons to each unit. I'm leaning a little more toward Garmin right now. Maybe I'll go find a store that has some of these to look at in person.

Oh boy, more bike-stuff shopping. I think this is getting addictive.
