Most Durable ----- Polar S - Series, S610i, S810i our favorite because it gives you constant feedback about your workout while you are exercising. When you push the red button the display gives you your average heart rate from the previous lap. So each time you push the lap button up to 99 times you receive info about you workout that helps you make adjustments on the fly.
Chest Straps ----- Sark Products let's the customer choose the transmitter of their choice at no additional cost. We recommend the Cardiosport because you can easily change the battery and it comes with a lifetime warranty. All transmitters are compatible with all watches except, Polar and Cardiosport transmitters do not work with Acumen watches. You must have a Polar coded transmitter to work with Polar's Cycling models S725, S625, S720, S520 Xtrainer and Protrainer XT
Changing battery in watch should be done by us or someone who can leak test watch. Simply if the watch is not leak tight corrosion will develop when moisture gets inside.
