Thanks. For my purposes, it sounds like either one will work fine.

Hey all, We have a Model E with Suunto heart monitor and we also have a LifeFitness elliptical that is compatible with Polar heart monitors. Here's my question: Is there a reason to prefer one over the other (Suunto vs. Polar)? I ask because I'm going to get a Polar to use on the elliptical and am w...

I'm also a relative newbie (just a shade younger than you), and have been rowing as often as I have the time. I typically do 30 minutes or a 6k, depending on my schedule.
