Polar Cycling Computer CS100 - Brand New

Polar CS100 HRM Review

Polar CS100 Heart rate monitor is a fairly extensive cycle computer with heart rate monitor. For those who enjoy an extensive range of stats during and after a ride, this will be a tempting buy.

It looks fine on the handlebars and gives a nice easy display. Polar products tend to be quite stylish it fits in with the rest of bike design.

I was most interested in the heart rate feature. Like any heart rate monitor you need to wet the strap around your chest to get it started. However, once I had it going, it worked absolutely fine. There weren’t really any glitches with the heart rate monitoring.

By default the heart rate monitor is set to be on alarm when you are outside of your heart rate target zone.

During the ride, it was interesting to be able to see speed, distance and heart rate all in the same place. The lap function is also useful if you are doing intervals and want to see speed and heart rate during different sections of the training.
