I like this item,this item is like my personal computer for training and races.
If you like to train organised and if you want to progress you have to buy one of this item.Don't let this chance skip you

This is my second 301. My first one's Heart Rate function stopped working a little after the warranty ran out (wasn't just the transmitter on the chest-I'm marking overall as good, but it would be excellent without this issue). But note that I bought another one. This is a great device for the money. It provides much information about my workouts using it with the Training Center program that you can easily upload from the device to your PC. I'm a big fan of using Heart Rate as a measurement of my workouts that consist of running and cycling.

Other pluses. This device allows you to set individual maximum heart rates based on 3 individual sports (cycling, running, one "other") and allows you various ways to see % level of heart rate. Speed, distance and time is also on the main face. There are two other displays available including one that allows you to personalize what you want to see. You don't have to use all the functions, but I find that most are not difficult to learn. Instructions are pretty clear.

The drawbacks are few. Its kind of bulky for a monitor, bigger and odd shaped compared to most watch/monitors. It didn't bother me. But you will not want to use it as another watch.

Great way to monitor your effort and give evidence of increased fitness. Definitely worth it if you work out on a regular basis.
