Anyone use a HRm with the downloadable function? It seems like it's a really helpful feture, to be able to see yor HR over time, but is it worth the money to uprgade?

I have the Polar 810. Its pretty awesome, but its not going to be worth it unless you are computer savvy enough to install the interface on your computer and take the time to understand how the software works. Mostly I think it is worth it, but if you don't really anlyze data all that much or care what it says or set up programs based on it, then it is really not worth it. So, that being said, I love mine, but its not for those who don't take training very seriously (5+ hours a day)
