I currently have a Polar A3 Heartrate monitor. I love it. The only problem I have is it doesn't track splits. Therefore I have to try and remember my times while running. I think I am going to up grade but I am not sure which model to go with. If you have any suggestions please post them. Thanks!

You can't go wrong with Polar. Find the one you like in your price range and shop around a little.

Here is a good article from Runner's Times on HR monitor comparisons. Personally I prefer Polar.

Polar Protrainer XT. Has 44 lap timer. 3 seperate zones. I have hade it for 2.5 years and I love it. Just had the batteries changed a few months ago.

If I ever upgrade it would be to the Polar S210.

ditto. Me Greg and our brother Ken researched it and found the XT to be the best. When it goes I will be going for the S210 also.

Well, I just bought the Polar S410. I was going to buy the S210 but the S410 was only a few dollars more and allows me to download directly to my PC.
