I come at it from a much more nerdy angle though, and I'm not afraid of spending a lot of money on gedgets, provided they're good. I've used Polar HR monitors since 1993, the last one was an RS800 (very good), and changed to a Garmin 405CX when it came out in April. So far happy with the change, especially as the Garmin has Mac support. Both Suunto and Polar are strictly Windows only though, and I prefer using Mac, OpenBSD or Linux. I do have Windows running in VMWare Fusion on my Mac, but I don't like having to start it up whenever I need to download workouts and look at pretty graphs etc. I have a paid <a href="http://home.trainingpeaks.com/" rel="nofollow">TrainingPeaks</a> account too, highly recommended, no matter what device you use. /Morten I’ve been thinking and writing about the same stuff on my blog.
