Mate of mine is getting a flash new turbo for Xmas.

The readoutn on the turbo is ANT+ compatible - so he wants a chest strap to show his details.

If he's getting that then he wants a watch to go with it too so he can get the same details out on the bike too.

Polar would be my choice - but I dont think they're ANT+ compatible ?

Whats the best out there under say £75 - he doesnt want all the bells and whistles - its more for fitness than pro racing.

Thanks.
