Managed to get one. Looks cheap, but not too bad for 15 quid (ie buttons work). Chest thing a bit stiff and wasn't always reading consistently - might be linked and work if I get the position better. Does interfere a lot with others. If has rather too many functions though, some of which are silly- calories burnt - some more useful (lap counting stopwatch, beep outside zone , max heart rate etc.), but so many of them its going to be a pain to remember. Its also got quite a nice moudled handlebar mount, but we'll have to see if it interferes/is interfered with the wired computer.

For something thats going to be going to work, potentially getting lost/scratched/dropped/covered in diesel filth/oil I'd prefer not to have the 50 quid basic zero feature ones from better manufacturers.

Perfectly honest comment...and bottom posted. I paid £200 for mine, and no I wouldn't wear it if it may get "lost/scratched/dropped/covered in diesel filth/oil ". If I wanted to measure my heart rate while "covered in diesel filth/oil"...I'd buy one from Aldi! -- Mark ______________________________________ "Just ask yourself: What would Scooby Doo?"
