DIGITAL
HRM's = Reduced chance of interference and crosstalk - BUT,
they will NOT interface with Gym equipement. Generally, this
is the preferred monitor as crosstalk in a busy gym can be annoying. The Polar RS800CX and the Polar CS600X are DIGITAL - the rest of the range are analogue and analogue CODED.
ANALOGUE
HRM's = These WILL interface with most popular Gym equipment,
BUT - there is the potential for interference from other HRM
users, if within 3 feet of your unit. If used in a quiet gym,
or on your own... no problem. Most of Polar's HRMs are CODED analogue, see below. The only pure uncoded analogue HRM from Polar is the FS1
Most of Polar's HRMs are actually CODED ANALOGUE = These will GENERALLY interface with most popular Gym equipment,
BUT - but some equipment gets "confused" by the coded signal. Coded HRM's are popular as they have an system that prevents interference from other HRM users in close proximity.
