Ermmm.
I did not state that the technology or features had not previously been
in watches made by Polar or Suunto or anybody else.
I have a Polar myself.
I was simply alerting people to the fact that your 725x and 720i are
superseded by release of a new model. If you are happy with your current
watch then don't upgrade.
My bike from 40 years ago had a frame (triangulated), wheels, gears,
forks, etc but that has not stopped me being excited about new bikes
that come onto the market.

Darryl
