Are all Polar HRMs created equal?
I'm not asking about the features, I'm asking about the accuracy of the devices themselves to measure heartbeats. Has anyone used Polars from both ends of the spectrum and found the heartbeat measurement to be consistent between units?

Yes, from the bottom to the top of the line, they are all ECG accurate.

G'day,
I have 2 polar HRMs. 1 is a cheapy & the other is the S720. I use both regularly & haven't noticed any inconsistancies between the readouts they produce,
cheers,
Hitchy
