Default polar cs600

howdy all,

new to this forum, i was searching through alot of the threads about the polar cs600 there is quite a bit of info. i am personally looking for a cheaper version of a power meter for my bike. i do triathlons and have basically 3 wheelsets, trainer, aero, and disc.

i was able to find a very cheap polar cs600 with power meter on amazon.com

Amazon.com: Polar CS600 with Power Cycling Computers W.I.N.D.: Sports & Outdoors Amazon.com: Polar CS600 with Power Cycling Computers W.I.N.D.: Sports & Outdoors

which almost seems too good to be true....would there be any possible issues with buying this model?

One set of prices in your link is probably used (with and w/out the power), the other new. There are some deals on the CS600 since the "x" is out, but nothing earth-shattering that I've seen. I recently got my wife a 600+Power from Nashbar for ~$450, if I recall correctly.

I am pretty sure that is the cost of the CS600 computer only. The power meter ad on is another $350 ish... I have the CS600 computer and love it. I got the cadence ad on and am considering the power meter too. I need to do more research tho...
