I am interested in knowing which monitor(s) will give me the most for my dollar. I have some funds and I would like to use it toward this purchase. Some have distinct advantages and disadvantages. Some require straps and/or chest applications and I do run co-ed (girl issues and readings) I also want them to be able to be computer friendly. Can anyone elaborate and give me some first hand feedback?????

Hi Paul

I have just started using Polar HRM's with my KS3 and KS4 classes.
We have been doing a unit on Principles of Training and Fitness. They have been great. I have bought 4 Polar S610 watches. They all come with the software for downloading. In addition I have bought 1 inter-face unit.
The kids have been really interested and motivated. The print out graphs from the downloaded info are great, and easy enough for the kids to interpret for their 'write-ups'.

Hope this helps. They are not cheap, and must be looked after well. But I hope to get some more in the new school year.
