experience with 2.4Mhz heartbeat bike compu's?? / Cateye V3 - VDO Z3 -
Polar CS600 ($$$)

TIA

Hi

cateye is cheap / VDO has better specs / Polar is set in diamonds
2.4MHz does this work a promised?

Cateye V3 says distance 50cm for heartbeat
VDO mentions 90cm
Big difference (Cateye also is tiny, while VDO is quite big)
Polar has bad reviews on their Power module, and has a load of
Software Programs I prob wont use

I read 1 review about Cateye: 'satisfactory, drops the beat rarely'
whatever that means

would the VDO be an improvement on that
I think Polar is too $$

I JUST WANT HEARTBEAT RATINGS THAT WORK ALL THE TIME

thanks

I have owned a Cateye HRM for 3 years now and haven't had any problems
with it. Other than a few battery changes it has been maintenance free
and always works.

I've owned the Cateye 300 wireless for two or three years and the
cadence function just died. Think it may be the sensor. My Suunto X3
HR heart monitor just died also, of a broken transmitter strap. A new
transmitter for the Suunto would cost about $50 - $60. The Cateye V3
would replace the 300 and the X3 and REI currently has on sale for
$139. I have about $65 in dividends at REI so final cost would total
about $80 with tax. Seems like a no-brainer since I need a new
computer and HR monitor. I wish the V3 had an altimeter function like
the X3 HR, but only other unit with all that plus HR combined is the
new Polar Neuro 6 at about $225. I've had good experience with Cateye
products.
