Polar A1 or F1 heart rate monitors

[TrekDedicated]

Hey everyone,

I'm stuck in a bind here, I am buying a heart rate monitor relatively soon.

But I am really debating between the Polar F1 and A1.

I am afraid the F1 won't give me enough 'feedback' once school starts up again (cycling team), but wondering if the A1 is worth the extra cash.

I want to study my heart rate and I want a solid monitor. Advice/suggestions?

Thank you!

Forget Polar or Ciclosport. Get a Suunto T6.

The polar A1 and F1 are the same HRM or at least have the same feartures. Current heart rate, Average heart rate and excercise time.

I bought a F1 and have been very happy with it. $50 at Sports Authority.
