Damn Heart-Rate Monitors

I'm on my 3rd one. In 2 months.

1st: My first one was a Polar F4 that I bought from Dick's Sporting Goods 1.5 months ago. The interface is AWESOME. 1-button to set everything up and whatnot. Then it broke? I left it in my truck 1-2 days in the HOT BLAZING FLORIDA SUN, I think that's what ruined it. Back to Dick's!

Lesson learned: NO MORE LEAVING THEM IN MY TRUCK

2nd: Bought a Timex Ironman 30-Lap, broke after 1 pool use. It's good for 50M. Why'd it break? Oops, I hit a button while it was under water, I guess that's what did it in. Poor thing. Back to Dick's!

Lesson Learned: DONT BUY THINGS FROM COMPANIES THAT DON'T SPECIALIZE IN WHAT THEYRE SELLING. If Sony came out with a Car, would you buy it or would you buy one from Ford/GM that's been around forever?

3rd: Well, I put in an extra $20 and got the Polar F6 @ Dick's for 109$. Let's see how this one holds up.


Morale of my story: BUY POLAR!
