I bought the Supergo Wireless computer/HRM this weekend from their
store in Mountain View, CA. Here is a link to the product:
http://www.supergo.com/profile.cfm?LPROD_ID=22854&lsubcat_id=1512&lcat_id=7604&referpage=
Its a pretty good deal for $50 (on sale) as it combines cyclocomputer
functions with a HRM (current and avg HR only). I just started biking
and don't need an expensive HRM. The HRM 2000 is very different from
their HR1000 computer which has been discontinued now. Instead of
showing the actual current heart rate, HRM2000 shows the current HR as
the percentage of Maximum HR. I went through the manual and there is
no way to enter your age (so that MHR = 220 - age) or MHR value
directly. I called the store and tried to explain but the salesman
didn't get my point. So, I have no clue that when the computer shows
78 (of MHR) what is my actual heart rate!! 78 of what value?? The
manual does not explain that and google search didn't reveal any
useful information. Guess, I am missing something :-(
If anyone has used this device before, please enlighten me. Will
appreciate any comments or review of this product.
