Don't why it's taken soooooo long. I'm sure some of you may have seen this, but finally someone has come out with a true multisport gps watch/ hrm. It's not available yet, except pre-order. Which I will be doing. It's about time we can open water swim and record our distance and times.

So I am looking into a new HRM and was almost positive with going with the Polar RS200, but I am getting some cold feet and wanted some feedback.

I have a simple A5 Polar HRM that is out of warranty. the screen is missing part of the LED so although the unit works I can't read the heartrate. I have an SRM on my bike, so can get heartrate when I bike but not now while I am running. I want to get a HRM with GPS that gives distance +/- pace that I can use while running and that my husband can also use on his bike for speed, distance, mapping and altitude change. Is there anything out there that an be used for running and biking? Can you use a Forerunner 305 on the bike?

I've noticed that my heart rate tends to be much higher when swimming (for a similar level of effort) than cycling and running.

Perhaps it's an anxiety thing, since I've never developed a good level of comfort in the water.

The problem is that I think it handicaps me for the bike and run, as my heart rate doesn't come back down that much.

Your thoughts and experiences?

I'm looking to buy a HRM that i can use on my bike and run......all I really want is for the stupid thing to beep if my hr gets to low or too high

any suggestions, the cheapest i've found so far is a nike something (triax8 or c8 or something like that) and it's like 119 bucks at sports authority

im hoping there's a cheaper option out there

I am also hoping you all know what that option is......thanks for the help all
