Aldi HRM

[W K]

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.

Pointless and top posted. I describe what you get for 15 quid - which aint bad.

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.

As said before "yer gets what yer pays for".

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!
