I am just a begginer in triathlon while have a certain experience with multisport training (ex rower, cycling, runing). Have owned Polar HRM several years ago and now I'm looking for a single solution for: running - foot pod, distance, speed,... cycling - all features - cadence, speed, distance, ...

I'm thinking of getting HR monitors for my dad for Christmas. I want to get one that's as uncomplicated as possible, so I've been looking at some of the stapless ones. He's not exercising at any level of performance to need or want the features we'd mostly want, so can afford to sacrifice some accuracy in favor of simplicity of use. To tri or not to tri - that's not a question at all!
