Strengths: User-replaceable batteries (other manufacturers now do this).Weaknesses: Unreliable signal-receiver.Bottom Line: I bought a Cardiosport because they were the only brand I could find that allowed the user to replace the batteries. Unfortunately the thing was extremely finicky about when it would pick up the signal, even after installing brand-new batteries and spitting profusely on the contacts (really impresses the ladies in the middle of a ride).
Over a few years I amused myself by noting the conditions that seemed to cause the receiver to stop picking up a signal: (a) riding into the wind, (b) sun shining on the unit, (c) within 100' of power lines, (d) when the planets aligned a certain way (never did figure that one out). I continued to use it since it did actually work about 75% of the time. Finally it died.
Favorite Ride: MS150
Price Paid:
$50.00
Purchased At: LBS
Similar Products Used: Polar (died after 1 year, couldn't replace the @$%! batteries)
