Hello,
If anyone has a favorite product please let me know. I am looking for a combo of the 3 if possible, if not i can get an ipod separately...most importantly i am seeking a reliable heart rate moniter/stop ewatch combo, or something that'll be very useful for my training....I am training for a couple of sprint and an olympic tri in the spring/summer and will be using this for running outdoors, mainly...also cycling, possibly swimming as well. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

Hey there ... I can only offer some small advice on the HR monitor, depending on your budget look up the Polar S150 (cheapest polar with cycling functions), or if you have the money, to me you cant go past the Polar S625x

Also Nike have a good mp3 player designed for exercise ...

Nike 256max
http://www.nike-philips.com/2003/product_details.jsp?product=psa256...

There are cheaper version of that model with smaller memory. My 2c worth anyway.

Hi there,  i have a Nike MP3 Player that i stole from my boyf since he doesn't use it. I really like it. I also have a timex ironman watch that is great- does lap/split time, as well as alarm, timer and stopwatch.

Nike has a cool MP3 player that also measures pace and distance based on the same technology as the Polar and Timex systems. It's called the MP3 Run, check out Nike-Philips.com.

It has a some nice functions; it can be programmed to lower the music volume and talk to you and let you know your pace and distance at certain intervals.
