Strengths: Mucha informacion en pantalla e intuitiva, los numeros son grandes y permiten una buena lectura. Luz de fondoWeaknesses: La banda pectoral T31 al igual que los sensores de velocidad y cadencia no permiten el cambio de bateria. Las trabas que fijan la computadora a su base son de pesima calidad, luego de 4 meses de uso se partio una de las tres trabas que posee y el aparato no queda bien fijado a su base. El servicio de pos-venta polar es deprimente!!Bottom Line: Sacando de lado el problema de la base es un buen aparato, da buenas lecturas y brinda mucha informacion, su luz de fondo permite entrenar con poca luz..

Strengths: Large Screen
Easy to access buttons
Accurate HR monitorWeaknesses: Does not register slow speeds (under 8km/h) so it is unsuitable for MTB on hilly trails
Cost of replacement speed sensors and HR sensors is ridiculous. Having non replaceable batteries on these sensors is a joke. Polar take notice of Sigma!!Bottom Line: Wouldnt buy another one.
Favorite Trail: Reactor, Lucas Heights
Duration Product Used: More than 3 years
Price Paid:
$200.00
Purchased At: Frasers Cycles

Strengths: Easy to read, set up (wireless)Weaknesses: It's a Polar--went kaput with the replacement of the first battery.Bottom Line: I've purchased two high-end Polar products (CS600 w/power and the CS100 cyclocomputer/HRM). The CS600 was defective from the factory and cost me almost $300 to get installed and has never worked (Get a Powertap!!). The CS100, as stated above, stopped working the first time I had the battery changed. I will never buy another Polar product.

Strengths: Reliability! I have used Sigma and Cateye frustrating me from the very beginning. The polar just works with the minimum essential data of the ride.Weaknesses: As mentioned by another review, the sensor batteries can only be replaced as a complete sensor unit.Bottom Line: If you require basic reliable measurement that handles the odd wetting and rigours of cycling without compromising its accuracy this is the heart rate monitor for you.

Strengths: When the computer works it is a good computer but nothing special. Clear, big screen with good visibilityWeaknesses: Relatively pricey for what it offers..I rather buy Sigma BC 2006 if I will have to choose now. Pricey components(spare parts,...) and in sensors(speed, cadence) you cannot replace just battery but you have to buy a whole new sensor.The speed sensor is quite sensible for position of the magnet on spoke, it has to be very close.Bottom Line: I don't reccommend you to buy this computer. I rather go and buy Sigma BC 2006 for the money.
