I'm in the market for a new HRM, and I'd like one that will be able to
share data with my PC. Polar has two methods of doing this---infrared and
"SonicLink". The SonicLink models are a lot cheaper. Has anyone used one?

SonicLink will let you move data from the PC to the watch. It will not
provide the ability to move data from the watch to the PC.

It is not necessary to buy the Polar infrared link to use the infrared watch
models. I'm using a generic IrDA device connected via USB that cost about
$16.00 US.

Thanks, Bob. The IR watch models are more expensive, so that changes my
plans a bit.
