Seems as though the CS200cad is getting its share of knocks. Have to say...this is the computer I wanted for cadence and HR. Now I am not so sure. How many of you think it is a big deal to have to send the chest belt back to Polar to get fresh batteries when other HRM belts have replaceable batteries? Wonder how often the HR belt batteries need replacement and how long the belt would be at Polar? Replacement intervals I presume is a function of how much you would use it...but there clearly would be down time to send the belt off to Polar for battery replacement not to mention added cost which pads Polar's bottom line for every HRM sold.
Not sure what I will do...maybe purchase a separate SI HRM with replaceable belt batteries to use with my Cateye bike computer...maybe the best solution.
Anybody know if S.I. makes a handlebar mount for their watch style HRM?
