Polar S720i or HAC4? #207 - 12/25/03 06:54 PM (68.122.119.102) Edit Reply Quote I am looking for an accurate, reliable, easy to use cycling computer that contains cadence, altimeter, Heart Rate, and trip info. I am looking at the Polar S720i and the Cicosport HAC4, Does anyone have any experience with either one of the 2? Pro's? Con's? I figure, the one's who know cycling ride Calfee's.

The S7xx Polar Series are loaded. That means you can do 10 or 15 rides before you have to download. Hope this helps...

[Re: mb2k] #512 - 01/07/04 10:17 PM (209.102.127.173) Edit Reply Quote I beg to differ about doing 10 or 15 rides between downloads. Yeah, you can do that but it's not quite that simple. Set at 5 second sampling I can store about 11 hours worth of data. If I turn cadence off I get more time and if I turn altitude off I get even more. Also, if I change to slower rate of sampling, like 15 sec or 60 then the max exercise times can go way up. For instance if you turn altitude, speed, cadence and power off you can record over 44 hours at a recording rate of 5 seconds. Whereas if you turn those four functions on, you can only record <5 hours of data. So, depending what is important to you, yeah you could possibly go 10 to 15 rides between downloads but then if all you want is HR data there are cheaper and better ways to go then with the S710 (which is loaded with so much crap) that if you ever use half of it you should be eligible for some sort of medal from Polar.

It interfaces with the computer via IRDA really nicely. You don't need the Polar IRDA if you have a computer with an IRDA port (Most laptops have an IRDA port). Good Luck Post Extras: Pages: 1
