Great training tool for hiking, snow boarding, running, cycling etc.
Greg P: 
The design and matte stainless finish are excellent including the strap. The altimeter is ok and varies +/- 75 ft depending on the weather. It's great to watch the effects of altitude on your heart while going from 9,000ft to 12,000ft including vertical ascending speed while climbing/hiking and descending speed while snowboarding. The compass works great and locks on the direction fast. The heart monitor doesn't skip a beat (hope not:) You can set a min/max heart rate for your workout to tell if you are truly pushing yourself. The included software works great to track fitness progress. The Wearlink transmitter is well designed and better than any other transmitter out there. I have also used the heart monitor to determine recovery rate after a hard workout.

This is a great watch. I use it mainly for hiking and backpacking. The altimeter, barometer, compass, heart rate monitor, etc. all are easy to use.
Very disappointing quality control.
Pete the Polarless: 
First watch: Bad altimeter. Altitude and temp readings would peg at the limits within a minute of being on my wrist (Failed temperature compensation or something). First Replacement: Battery died within a month. I would have taken a new battery, but Polar insisted on replacing it (must be a problem they've identified). Second Replacement: Bunches of bad pixels. Its not very usable. Im sending it back. Third Replacement: Maybe a Suunto?? Lots of bad BS from the Polar US customer support guys, too. They were very condescending. Bottom Line: I'd stay away from this line of Polar products.
