Strengths:    None

Weaknesses:    Polar crap. No replacement battery for heartstrap. Shows you wrong average heartbeats sometimes (even if it showed 150-170 under training, it will show something like 38 average)
Overpriced

Bottom Line:

bought it for running. Later i started cycling instead, and it did its job. Still it only shows average hr, and hr under training, but no max hr? . Why?
Its not like its any difference to show average hr.
Polar to me is just selling stuff on reputation, but the stuff is crap. I bought a garmin instead and it works great. even wireless transfer to the pc.
