Maybe I'm just unlucky but I've found that the audible alarm function on my Polar's a) not loud enough and b) breaks easily. Mine just plain doesn't work any more.
When this one wears out I'll probably get a Cardiosport. A lot more bang for your buck with the Cardiosport I've found. Either that or one of the Timex ones. I've never tried a Timex before but I know some who have and they really like them.
Polar is the market leader and with that you get a lot more compatibility with things like cross trainers and the like in gyms. Not a concern for me; with 300kms a week what use do I have of cardio machines in a gym :-) -- Cheers Euan
I'm looking to buy a heart rate monitor - prices seem to vary widely. Does anyone have any feedback on a reliable unit that will just keep me in a target zone with audio feedback? I don't really need to download info etc. just want to know whether I'm in a training zone without having to look at the display all the time.
