RE: [RC] [RC] heart rate monitors - Eric Drew - Eric Drew

Ok a bit of a clarification.  on the heart rate monitor itself [watch] you
get HR, temp, altitude, in a digital readout [just numbers]switching modes
you can also view other data [picture a bicycle computer display].  Once
you get home or back to where you have your laptop [or PC] you can download
the data from the watch to the computer. Polar includes PC software with
the unit and it is this software that enables you to create different data
graphs on the computer not on the HR Monitor.

Eric,
When describing the 720's screen it sounds like it display similar to an
exercise bike's display....am I hearing you correct?

we have both; a polar A5 and a polar 720 series. the A5 lets you know

where

your horse's HRT is at any point during the ride but thats it. The 720
stores the data for computer download. We get a graphical download that
shows heart rate and altitude over the length of the ride [we could add

more

parameters]. If you train on specific hills it really lets you see changes
over time [for the good or bad]. side note the 520 has the same download
features but lacks the altimeter and a few other features of the 720

series.


Conversely the 720 series uses a coded transmitter [T52H] which has a
battery life that is half that of the un coded A5 transmitter [T51H] 2000+
hrs vs 5000, but it only costs $15 dollars to send it off and have the
battery replaced on either sender by a service center. 
If I was going to do it over again I would have only bought two of the 720
series model [we have two horses and one of us gets stuck with the A5]
