I'm looking for a new HR monitor and after some info/suggestions from others......

All I need are the basics, real time HR, trip HR, trip cals used and a time/watch function (a must).

Ideally I want something quite chuncky, with a large face and robust; I will be wearing it day to day on training days as a watch and currently wear either a Breitling or Casio Pro-treck, so would like something comparable in size/robustness.

Any suggestions?

If Im blowing out of my arse I must slow down/stop, its cheep easy to use but dosen't have the time function you are after sorry
Hope this helps mate!!

I have always relied on the same technology in the past; combined with a cycle computer. But I'm after a one-toy-does-all option now; thanks for the advice though..........
 
Seriously, I cant remember where I saw one but there is one that works with a cycle computer and gives 'pedel cadiance' etc so you dont have to wear the watch while cycling, but can when you run, if that makes sence?
 
Thanks guys, yes Suunto are great; have an X-lander. I just cant see a watch in their range that does the three key functions I want; time, HR and Cals....
 
Have a look here mate, bought my last two from here both Suunto's T4 initially and T6 now, if i am honest the T4 gave me all i needed but boy's toy's and all that!!

Time,HR and calories? Thats day one week one on the suunto range and plenty more besides, one thing that possibly goes against them is that a lot of modern CV equipment will only link to the Polar systems so if you do a lot of treadmill or elliptical this could be something to bear in mind.
