are they any good?

i'm after a new bike computer, and rather than rely on my basic polar watch for heart rate, i thought i might get one of these to do it 'all in one'

or any worthy alternatives?

cheers

    Not sure about the V3 but I have this one and it does everything I need it too and is very accurate.

    People from the Wirral have odd shaped chests, so it's all OK.

    i have just started using the HR function on my cateye just today and seemed to work well with the chest strap staying in place i would have liked a cadance reader function as well though

    i think he can keep a better eye on your readings by having it right in front of you on the bars

    I operate a V3 and it is a great bit of kit :D
    Very easy to set up and seems very accurate with a fast refresh/update rate. In short I can recommend :D
