Do any of you have any experience with the Polar S1 Foot Pod? I’m thinking about getting the Polar RS200SD instead of the RS200 so I can measure speed and distance.

My main concerns are:
1) Is the S1 Foot Pod accurate?
2) Is it cumbersome or bulky?

Thanks for any insight you can provide!

I've been using one for about 2 years now.

Accuracy: uncalibrated, it can be anywhere from 1% to 5% off. If you run on lots of different terrain or swap it between shoes, you'll see more towards 5%, which I still think is pretty good. If you calibrate it (by running a known distance of 1 mile or more), it will be within 1-2% for those shoes and that type of surface.

Comfort: It's not small, but it is surprisingly lightweight. I don't notice it or feel any discomfort while running.

I am selling the polar RS400SD that comes with the Polar Foot Pod. Used only one time. Retails for $369.95. Would sell for $195.00. Check it out, unit comes with everything. The foot pod is not cumbersome and if calibrated correctly is quite accurate. Just have too many polar HR monitors.
