 Polar Heart Reat MonitorFeb 01, 2010
Not the easiest heart rate monitor to use. I had to read the manual multiple times. I still have not figured it all out and I can't seem to store my files.
It does all I want it to and more, but it is not intuitive. Plan to spend quite a bit of time reading through and practicing with it to get what you want.
Good but no for Bicycle.Aug 27, 2009
Good but no for Bicycle. The Cadence doesn't work with RS800, only work with RS800CX.
 Love it! Can't run without it!Jul 30, 2009
I am a novice runner. I am training for my second 1/2 marathon and wanted to track my distances. I love this watch/GPS. Very accurate, easy to use.
Tells me everything I want to know- distance, pace, heart rate, total time run, calories burned.

Great gadget for meJun 17, 2009
I am a newbie in in running, and I bought this watch as a toy, but I think it is just great. The only problem is with the GPS which takes a while to get connected.
I want wait to buy the rest of the sensors to play a bit more.

Awesome deviceMay 03, 2009
So, unlike the other reviews I've read, I've been using the RS800G3 for several weeks now without any problems. So people state that their results are choppy, mine are consistently accurate.
The device isn't intuitive, but doesn't take much effort to learn. Utilizing the online help via Polar's site, I was able to figure out everything I'd need.
I run 64bit Vista Ultimate on my computer at home, there was no need to install drivers for the infrared link. In addition, while mildly annoying, it needs to have line-of-sight to the watch face for accurate transfer. But Polar conveniently added a USB extender cable so I could place it on top of my desk.
Overall, besides the lack of documentation, I'd give the product a 5 out of 5. However, my bike and running routes are open urban trails... I'm not sure how the G3 GPS sensor would function between buildings in New York.
