How do you switch modes, i.e. from cycling to running? Mine does not seem to have a way to keep the same workout but use different modes.
I agree that for a sprint it is not necessary - even for an Olympic it's too short for me to worry about. I do however - use mine in training every day as it is an easy to log my daily training to my home PC. I also use it in marathons, 1/2 IM's and IM's to keep me on pace. In a marathon my HR tends to just stay in the 165 - 170 range. My max HR is 196 (at age 46) and I have not seen over 200 in 3+ years. I do set a max and min range and mine will beep at me if my HR exceeds 175.
I have a 720i and never had an issue in the bike to run but I have heard the same issue about the 625x. I do use mine in the swim, but never look at it until about mile 15 or so on the bike in a 1/2 IM or like mile 13 in a marathon (where the race really starts for me).
