Sigma PC-3 is still going strong here after almost 2 years and 8K miles. It's basic, no alarms or averages, but dead simple to use....and cheap. My old HRM had alarm settings, but found I rarely used them. With the PC-3 on the handlebar of the bike, it's very easy to read at a glance, so I don't miss the alarm at all.amandasteele said:I have a Sigma PC14 as well and it's been excellent for keeping me motivated, especially when on a trainer. It was relatively cheap (about $150) as well and seems to have features that would cost you a lot more in the polar range. My Sigma cycle computers have all run really well too - BC1200 (no cadence) and BC1600 (cadence) and were well priced.
The "averaging" feature would be nice; as well as time spent above a settable threshold. Currently I just write down my guess at the average and max HRs for my ride, or if it's a hard ride, I estimate and record time spent over 85 or 90%.
