Your assumption might be misplaced. I am on my second Polar HR computer… never again will I buy Polar.
I got a new Timex GPS when they were on closeout… paid about 1/3 of what I paid for my RS800CX and the Timex has twice the functionality. I would never have known what I was missing until I got a chance to change platforms at such a low cost, but I see that Garmin and Nike are now selling GPS watches at Target & Best Buy.
Plus, I have received poor service from Polar on every occasion that I have needed assistance.
Thanks for all the feedback, most appreciated. I ordered the G5 from them, couldn’t pass up the price.
As for the dude who had bad experiences with Polar, fortunately I have not. They’re all I’ve used and found their gear to work as advertised and customer serive has alwasy been spot on. Plus, they’ve got Wayne trolling the forums for us!
