Quick non-technical review of Suunto Vector HR showing it’s HeartRate monitor feature at work.

So i’ve been looking back and forth for a new fitness watch and it seems Polar and Garmin watches come up the most between the best fitness watches. Just looking for opinions between these watches. My particular pet peeve would be on looks, by far the Polar watches looks great but as far as hardware it seems Garmin is on top. My thought process is as so, its 2011 not 1990, i expected to see great looking watches that can do much more with a sleek design and i haven’t found much. I’m almost thinking of just getting an ipod nano/nike+ and a wrist watch nano holder and calling it a day but that doesn’t have all that i’m looking for in terms of functionality. I’m looking a multi-sport, gps, calorie counter, heart rate monitor, water proof watch.
I would like to do swimming with them but its primarily for running. A lot of these multi-sport watches are quite bulky.

I’m trying to decide what watch will best suit me for my training. I’m a serious runner (75 miles a week) who runs at the collegiate level. Really, I just want a watch that gives me accurate distance, as well as mile pace (every mile if possible), and total time elapsed. I don’t care about heart rate or calories burned, I just want the basics. So between the two brands, which one has these features and is considered more accurate? I guess what I’m trying to ask is between the garmin 110 forerunner, the new nike + sportband, and the old nike gps (goes for ), which one should I get and why?

Thanks!!

I’m looking to buy a good running watch. I had a nike heart rate monitor one and it broke. I need one that calculates speed with at least 8-lap memory, heart rate, and distance with gps rather than foot pod. Preferably water resistant and not too bulky. Also less than 0, *if possible*. Any suggestions or reviews? Thanks
p.s. Any thoughts on the Timex Ironman Bodylink?

I run about 3-4 times a week and I lately got the nike plus chip, which is pretty fun.
Anyway, i’m now thinking about getting a cheap polar watch……do you think it’s worth it? cause I’m afraid I’ll stop using it after a few runs cause it will get annoying and who know if I’ll follow what my heart beat says…

I’ve decided not to get a polar, b/c I don’t want to have to send it in for battery replacement. I’m torn between a timex and a nike c6. I’m not a runner, so I don’t care about the lap features. Any suggests?

I bought the Nike triax C8 HRM watches abt 3 years back, but i only use the HR function for less than 20 times (i think). Recently i started using it for training and it doesnt work well, on and off constantly. So i thought it was the battery problem, but after i changed the battery it doesnt work as well.
how can i fix this ?
The warranty period was over, can i sent back to them repair ?

beside, they selling the heart rate monitor strap separately ? mine was loose.

Specifically, I was looking at the Nike SportBand. Would it give an accurate reading if I did the treadmill, elliptical or spinning bike at my gym? Would it be best to just get a heart rate monitor?

Please only answer if you have a clue as to what I’m asking =) I’ve seen where people just throw out answers just to get the points. Thanks!

Trying to decide between Nike, Polar, or Timex heart rate monitors. Any suggestions? I don’t need a ton of features.

It’s the world’s first digital music player/heart-rate monitor! It’s called the Yamaha Bodibeat and it’s an MP3 player that’ll match the rhythm of your movements to the music it pumps to your ears! For the whole story, watch KBTVonline right now!

I am planning to buy a HRM and plan to use it for mainly jogging. I decided to get the Nike Traix c5 but it has an chest attachement, which i just found out through ebay as i was looking for the best deal…. Can anyone suggest some good HRM’s which also show calories burned, and which do not have those chest attachments???

I don’t need anything else because I really like the watch I have. and everything on the market has a small readout. I want to pay attention to my heart rate while training. I would love something that came with software too. Has anyone tried the electronics that go with the Nike turbo shock 8 + shoe etc.

I don’t mind taping something to my chest or anything.
