Subject: Combined HRM/Computer or separate units ? Having bought a new bike , I feel the need to install a computer (w/ cadence, of course!) but at the same time I'd rather not have separate units for my runs and my biking . So , my problem is should I go for a combined unit and hence pay the hefty cost of a Garmin 305/Polar S625X (+cadence module) or should I go for separates instead ? What do most people do for their bike/run needs ... What I like about one unit is that all my workouts are stored in one place . Apart from showing cadence , I get to see my HR also instead of twisting my arm to see the watch Or is the addl. cost not really worth the features ? I am after all , a "beginner triathlete" i.e. while I like my toys and have used a HRM in the past , its not like I run that fast that I absolutely need a HRM for my runs ! Having plonked down the moolah on a new bike , I'd like to avoid the addl. cost if I can but don't want waste the money on a cyclocomputer if it becomes necc. to upgrade anyway . |
