Is anybody using one? My old Polar CS finally died and I am in need of replacement. I can get some thing like this for relatively cheap which does everything my Polar did plus some, but no GPS.
I am on the fence about getting something with GPS, mostly so I can trace my mileage while running instead of when I get home and map it out. I also lose on demand pace for running, which in races is important to keep pace. Only problen is that GPS is going to push me into the $400 range for Garmin or Polar. That's pricey and I need to justify that to Wifey, especially given the cost of the work we are currently doing around the house.
I am looking for something that can do HR and laps, be capable of useage while swimming and if possible have GPS. Using my phone is not an option for this as they are not allowed to be carried in race, nor can you swim with it.
Any recommendations would be appreciated. I can see the Garmin and Polar options, but they are still quite expensive.
