    I've been waiting for this for about a year...Love my Polar S710, but it lacks some nice
    functionality on the run...two questions:

    1. Why didn't they integrate the data recorder into the watch or GPS unit?...having to carry a
    fourth piece of hardware strikes me as excessive.

    2. Around a year ago when I bought speed/distance, a timex rep said he thought the old units would
    be compatible with the HRM's when they came out...anybody know if you can just purchase a HRM
    strap and the data unit, and get full functionality by using the watch that originally came with
    speed/distance?

    You will be able to buy the data recorder and a HRM strap and use with your SD watch and GPS they
    are fully compatible. The stand alone strap and data recorder will be available in a few weeks right
    now just the 59551 SD + HR is available. The data recorder is tiny you can clip it to the HRM strap
    or gps armband.

    Thanks for the info! It's appreciated and welcomed. One request, though. Next time you advertise
    here, please preface your subject line with "AD:" as stated in the FAQ.

    Thanks,

    witch and strap to record HR and speed and distance info?

    The data recorder will not work with a polar belt but it will work with any Timex digital HRM belt.
    The data recorder does not require a watch to record HR however your SD watch will not display HR
    during your run. We have put together a FAQ at
    bodylink.timexstore.comtimex bodylink system faq.htm it may answer more of your
    questions.

    I was told I would need to buy the Timex HRM and BodyLink data recorder. Using the new Timex HRM,
    the watch will read/show both distance and HR. BTW, the software will download in generic file
    format... so, data will be transferable (at least that's what I was told).

    (I currently use a S510 (piece of [censored]) Polar and the Timex S+D combo)

    You can use the data recorder without a watch it recorder data from the GPS and strap directly.

    Your old speed distance watch will not display heart rate.

    check out the faq at bodylink.timexstore.com

    your best bet is to get the bodylink 59571
    bodylink.timexstore.combodylink system 59571 heart rate.htm

    Can you add bodylink functions, e.g., data recorder or speed + distance sensor to a Timex 54071 HRM?
