Managed to get one. Looks cheap, but not too bad for 15 quid (ie buttons work). Chest thing a bit stiff and wasn't always reading consistently - might be linked and work if I get the position better. Does interfere a lot with others.
If has rather too many functions though, some of which are silly- calories burnt - some more useful (lap counting stopwatch, beep outside zone , max heart rate etc.), but so many of them its going to be a pain to remember.
Its also got quite a nice moudled handlebar mount, but we'll have to see if it interferes/is interfered with the wired computer.

Pointless and top posted. I describe what you get for 15 quid - which aint bad.
For something thats going to be going to work, potentially getting lost/scratched/dropped/covered in diesel filth/oil I'd prefer not to have the 50 quid basic zero feature ones from better manufacturers.

As said before "yer gets what yer pays for".
Perfectly honest comment...and bottom posted.
I paid £200 for mine, and no I wouldn't wear it if it may get "lost/scratched/dropped/covered in diesel filth/oil ". If I wanted to measure my heart rate while "covered in diesel filth/oil"...I'd buy one from Aldi!
