HRM has been my go to tool for 20 years or more to match one type work out with another. When one gets boring I'll just do something else or ride somewhere else and try to maintain the same HRM for the same length of time. To me that is a good measure of making the same effort and getting essentially the same benefit with out getting bored out of my mind.
Right now I'm feeling pretty screwed over by Schwinn and Polar because the battery ran down in my Polar chest strap HRM that matches up with the Schwinn electronics and neither one is making any effort to help me get something that will work together. Right now I'm working with old stuff but for the money they want for one of these bikes they should make sure it matches up with what you need to use it. It is all still on going so far.
