Triathlon watches - Triathlete watches
A selection of heart rate monitor watches for Triathletes
This list details our most popular heart rate monitors that also feature a method of calculating running and cycling speed and distance. Some of these units use GPS, the others use a highly accurate and sensitive wheel sensors that measure revolutions of the wheel. The GPS devices can be used for any outdoor sport, and most will download track data to Google Earth (or similar). We have hand picked this list with the Triathlete in mind. If you are new to triathlon or entering the IronMan Hawaii for the 10th time.. we have a heart rate monitor / speed and distance watch for you !
Summary of the 3 best sellers...
Polar RCX5 - EXCELLENT - seriously, we have NOT been able to find fault with this unit. PC and MAC compatible via the hugely upgraded polarpersonaltrainer.com ~ simple transitional changes from one sport to another ~ 6 x user configurable displays for each one of the 4 sports (run, bike, swim and other) ~ 5 x heart rate zones with ZoneOptimiser to ensure every session is the right intensity ~ Polar Training Load via the webservice to ensure that you do not under / over train ~ running pace, distance, stride length, cadence ~ bike 1 and bike 2 speed, pedal cadence and distance ~ swim heart rate .....any complaints ?? does not support Power and will not give swim SPEED as the G5 GPS is not waterproof... other than that = PERFECT
|
Polar RCX5 ALL models and ALL colours
AVAILABLE NOW IN BRILLIANT RED |

Garmin Forerunner 310XT. Another serious contender for the multisport athlete. It's got virtual partner ~ bike speed, distance and pedal cadence ~ run pace and distance ~ will work for speed and distance when SWIMMING in open water (but no HR, unlike Polar RCX5) ~ easy to use Garmin Connect web interface (community based allowing sharing of training data, routes etc) ~ works on Mac or PC ..... any complaints ?? Large on the wrist, does not give heart rate for swim.
Suunto T6D. Been around for almost 4 years, but still very popular for the multisport user. Very simple transitional changes just a couple of button presses. Looks like a REGULAR watch. Dual frequency transmitter to communicate to popular gym equipment. Training Effect anaylsis to clearly show when over / under training ?? Any complaints ?? does not support Power and will not give swim heart rate or speed...
All of these 3 heart rate monitors are suitable for a triathlete or the exerciser with an interest in gym, run, swim and bike. All of them offer excellent quality and serious multisport functionality... Tristan Haskins from heartratemonitor.co.uk is currently using / testing the Polar RCX5.. and he LOVES IT !

The new Polar RS300x is available now. The main improvement over the Polar RS200 is the ability to support either the S1 foot sensor or the Polar G1 GPS - great for cyclists, multisport, triathlon, duathlon etc. Also improved PC download using the new Polar FLOWLINK. Please click here to review - Polar RS300x - SD - G1
A good unit for Triathlon, but not quite as good as Suunto T3D or Garmin FR60. The Polar cannot provide pedal cadence for the technical cyclist. However, it is a competent performer in a VERY COMPETITIVE class... |

Theis the newest version of the Garmin Forerunner family. What makes this VERY DIFFERENT to all the other Garmin Forerunner's is it's SIZE.... it is VERY SMALL - will fit ALL wrists male, female and youth.
POINT TO NOTE : NOT SWIM PROOF !!!
It also includes a more accurate CALORIE computation, based on exercising heart rate. We believe this will be Garmin BEST SELLING GPS heart rate monitor of all time ~ due to the fact that it has all the ESSENTIAL features for 95% of users, with no compromise in style and size.
If you want to keep things easy... 10/10 highly recommended |

A welcome addition to the Garmin Product range. Put simply, if you're a TRIATHLETE and you want Garmin - this is the one for you. This is the FIRST WATERPROOF Garmin Forerunner GPS unit, so you can wear it while swimming (but like all HRM's - no heart rate while under water). The other Forerunner GPS units are just SPLASH proof, but this one is fine for the SWIM section. Also, it has an operating battery life of 20 hours, double the normal Forerunner (great for IronMan and Ultra distance races)
One word ~ AWESOME. why else would Alastair Brownlee train with one?

The NEW T6C/D has REAL TIME TRAINING EFFECT - Pair the T6C/D up with either a Suunto GPS POD or a Suunto Foot POD and you have accurate speed and distance data while out running. Another major feature of the new Suunto T6C/D is it's ability to support PEDAL CADENCE.... if there is one thing that the keen cyclists out there have been requesting it was CADENCE... well now it is here. And last, but definitely not least.. is the NEW Suunto COMFORT chest STRAP ~ the T6D comes with DUAL transmitter chest strap.
This is currently the unit that Tristan and Louise (BHIP directors) use as their own training monitors. See Tristan's Suunto T6D MOVES on Suunto's MOVESCOUNT.com website. Highly recommended for serious triathletes who want to know PRECISELY what is going on.
