Pros: Good Fetures

Cons: Doesn't work

I received my fourth, yes my forth replacement watch from Polar yesterday, and I'll be sending it back tomorrow. The first one, the one I bought, worked fine except that the sonic link tones it produced were so low it could take 45 min. before yo...u would get a successful upload to the website. When I called Polar I was told that they had had a problem with a batch of watches and that they would fix it. I sent it in, got a new one sent to me which did the exact same thing. I called them again, explained the problem again and was told they had sent me one of the bad watches by mistake. The third one was fine, for about two weeks. While on a ride the speed stopped displaying. Then it would start again but the cadence would quite. Then the heart rate would go nuts, the speed would quit, the cadence would go nut, the speed would go nuts also, and on and on. I called back, they sent me another one, my fourth, which I received yesterday. I went for a ride this morning, got back, went to upload my data and nothing. Not one chirp from the sonic link. I have had it with this thing. Time to get my money back and find a monitor that is NOT made in China. Read more Less
