Good Tool for Mountaineering July 2, 2008
I've used this heart rate monitor for training and mountaineering. I selected it becuase I've been happy with other Polar heart rate monitors I've owned including the CS200cad and S725X. The heart rate monitor works well and includes the standard features I've come to expect with Polar units. The altimeter has been very reliable. I've used it in both altimeter and barometer modes to elevations over 14,000 feet without issue. We often climb with a GPS unit so exact altitude is not critical for me with this unit. What I do like is the average climbing pace. The climbing pace shows the feet or meters you are ascending or descending per minute. This feature coupled with heart rate is extremely useful when trying to gauge exertion levels and time needed to complete a climb. Compared to just an altimeter watch, having a heart rate monitor is a tremendous advantage.
That said, it only makes sense to use a heart rate monitor if you regularly train with one. If you go to the mountains and strap this thing around your chest without knowing how your body normally responds to exertion, this unit is not very helpful. You need to train with a heart rate monitor to get maximum benefit.
I would have given this 5 stars except that I've been frustrated by some of the function keys and menu commands. Maybe it's me, but they've not been as intuitive as some other Polar units. Additionally, the buttons on the unit can be activated by fairly easily by clothing or gloves.
