|
| I noticed yesterday when I was browsing in there that the Maplins shop on Chancery Lane have an HRM on special offer for 19.95 or so. It's described as "wireless digital" but otherwise unremarkable (no facility to record data, for example). I didn't get one, and I don't know if the offer is available in other Maplin's branches or not, but I thought I'd mention it in case anyone's interested. |

I saw that offer too at the Wood Green branch last w/end. Don't think I will downgrade from my Polar though.  |

hehe, as I do not have a cycle at the moment, I just have the running device. Plus I have more skill for running than cycling  |

I have to admit that the Forerunner is a good one.
The advantage he has regarding the polar S625X is GPS. while skating the Polar can't tell you distances the F-301 can...
The Polar software is best one at the moment, I was not sure first between these two HRM, but finally I choose the Polar because I don't really need to know the distance while training skating.
I don't like the size of the forerunner 301.
By the way both polar and f301 are great deals. |
