thinking about getting one to keep an eye on my max rate but after looking around i'm liking the sound of all these target zone functions. i've pretty much narrowed it down to three,

Suunto t3c cycling pack,

Garmin FR60

Sigma Onyx Pro

any reason not to get any of the above? or are there any others to consider under £150 that i've missed? cheers :)

edit; oops should have gone in the buying section doh

    I got the Cateye V3 recently, which works very well and was easy to fit etc. Also has a stem mounting, which is nicely out the way for those occassional crashes (can also be mounted on bars though). Think it was about £130. Occassionally it gives an odd reading on max heart rate and cadence, which I think might be due to interference from other systems at a bunched start to a race. It generally works very well though and can certainly recommend it highly.

    Gary Fisher HKEK (for commuting)
