heart rate monitor able to d/l to computer...
I had a post on here some time ago about wanting to get a good heart rate monitor.... I've ditched the gps function since I just got a Garmin forerunner 201 for free so All i need now is the HRM...
Can someone recommend a good HRM that downloads to a computer?
I was looking at the Polar S150 but it doesn't do that one function...
Any others?
Thanks for all the help for a newbie...

You better give a price range... otherwise you'll a lot of useless recommendations. I personally like my Polar 710i (cyclometer functions + HRM + download to PC) but I suspect it's more than you want to spend.

yeah, I didn't want to crazy with this, but most of the ones I've seen that do the interface with a computer are fairly pricey...

The funny thing is all I really want is a computer download feature that'll let me see
heart rate vs ride time/speed. Cadence is optional fluff.
