    Comments about Polar RS 800 G3 Speed and Distance Heart Rate Monitor:

    I participate in ultra-marathons, marathons, and various other activities. I had been using a Garmin 205. I wanted to upgrade to a HRM that would provide me with a multi-sport function as well as a long battery life. I researched the T6C, Garmin 405 and Polar RS800. I chose the Polar.
    Why the Polar?
    - Better training software
    - Easy operation during training i.e. no bezel problems
    - Turn off unit.
    - Battery life will not be a problem
    - Amount of data collected
    - Available tests that can be performed.
    I have not been disappointed in the product nor have I had any problems. I love the GPS that connects with Google Earth as well as the other features.
