  1. heart rate monitors

    feh

    what i want to do is ride, then see what i did, HR wise
    so i need at least 3 timers
    each one would record the time spent in its respective zone

    say
    55-70%
    70-85
    85-95

    would be nice if the timers on the end would also keep 'above and
    below' times too

    the sports instruments ones seem to work this way

    [all the others that i know of, only have one zone timer active at a
    time, if you want
    to know about any other zone, you have to switch the timer yourself.
    either that, or
    it only has one zone.]

    it would also be nice if you could set the zones yourself, and in terms
    of %MHR [percent of max
    heart rate], not just absolute HR.

    is there such a thing?

    i really don;t need lap timers, a million files, computer upload and
    download, speed and cadence inputs, GPS, altimeters [don;t work
    anyway], emergency flashlights, or ship-to-shore radio receivers..

    i had a nice one, well 2 of them, sports instruments "Fit 3", but they
    both broke, mechanically, the arms that hold the band on, snapped off.
    this one came close to doing what i want

    also i need it to have a decent watch, and daily alarm clock..

    and calories burned

    is that too much to ask?

    oh and i don;t want it to cost over $90

    what else
    oh
    backlight

    🙂

    and don;t break

    oh, and user replaceable batteries

    I don't completely know what you're talking about, but I've used
    fairly simple Polar HRMs where I set a middle zone and could see time
    above and time below as well. I could have set it with your zone of
    70-85 and then by riding with discipline of effort would be pretty
    sure the time above and below were the other two zones.

  3. I use a db500 that has many of these features. Now I'm wondering if there
    are any HRMs that have these features yet don't need a separate strap
    circling the chest. Everything built into a wristwatch would be sweet.

    You CAN "switch" between the 3 zones within an exercise set during the
    exercise.

    but - say you want to know the time you spent in each zone
    do you HAVE to switch the zone manually?

    i have a polar st150 [i think] and the annoyance is that, yes it has 3
    zones
    but only one is active at a time
    you have to switch it manually
    if you want to know how long you spent in another zone
