Heart Rate Monitor Advice
Hi
I'm still out with an injury at the moment and will be until the Autumn, but with a birthday coming up soon I was thinking that a heart rate monitor could be a good gift to help in my fight back to fitness, but could do with some advice first.
I'd like something that I can set several training zones on and upload the data to the computer too, I like the look of the Polar CS300 which can double up as a speedo and cadence computer, has anyone used it and what do you think? What other ones would you recommend?
Thanks
James

we've tested the CS300's big brother, the CS600:

it's a cracking bit of kit. Polar's software is good too.
next step up is something like a Garmin Edge 305. it's a bit pricier but it can do a lot more once you're back to fighting fitness and ready to tackle the great outdoors...
