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.

Hi everyone! I've been using the Suunto T3 for the last couple years and I think it's finally starting to crap out. I've been looking at the Garmin Forerunner 305. Most of the reviews I've read have been pretty positive with exception to it's water-proofness. My question is, when not in training, are you able to use it as a normal watch? I started competing in triathlons 2 years ago and fell in love with the sport. Because heart disease runs in both sides of my family, I figured that training and competing in tris will help delay the inevitable.

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.

Came across THIS on another forum and was wondering if any of the multisport GPS devices are bluetooth enabled ;-)

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 It is better to hurt from doing something than from doing nothing...
