Which multisport HRM?

jumbolugs

I have a very basic Polar F1 at the moment bu I would like one that allows you to upload data to a PC, also want it to have an intervals function. Budget £150 or so. Anybody got any recommendations? Thinking at the moment of Suunto T3 plus PC pod. Have also been looking at the Polar S610i and Cardiosport GT5.

I should point it that it's not just for cycling - I also cross-train on a Concept2 rowing machine - so I don't really want a cycling-specific one. I don't really see what the benefit is of being able to correlate speed on the bike with heart rate (what about headwinds and hills? You won't see that on the graph).

So really just looking for a recommendation for a good multi-purpose HRM with intervals and PC upload function.

Thanks

There is a website that sells all kinds of models (heartratemonitors?) which is excellent for making comparisons. (Be warned there is a similar adress that will take you to a site that only sells Polar!!)
The staff there are very helpful too if you give them a ring!
(wish I could remeber the adress :oops:)

Yes! that's teh one. Excellent service tho' they don't export to Sweden. My mum has 'bought' 2 heart rate monitors over the years and she's 78!!
