Where would I be able to get a Polar HRM in CM?

Don't really know. However I would be interested being as my heart beats irregularly.

Is it for when you are exercising or any time?

I obviously know nothing about one.

You can use them anytime. Never seen one for sale in CM. There is a dealer in Singapore that you can find on line.

Supersports in central airport plaza, fourth floor? Of Robinsons store sell them. Or at least they did a year ago..

EDIT caveat added!

I have scoured Chiang Mai looking for heart rate monitors and the only one I have found is on a small stall selling watches on the ground floor of the Carrefour Supermart on the superhighway. It was a Casio, but as it did not appear to download to a computer I didn't buy it..

Dont mean to go off topic but...wanted to mention that I have had many Polar's & while they are good

the Garmins are way better

They just have better reception & accuracy IMO

Add to that the soft strap & the added computer software/training center if you choose to use it.... & it is just so much better.

Perhaps you may also find the added features useful if your using it for exercise

Garmin is a GPS with a HR feature Polar dedicated HRMs and are by far the best HRM money can buy, in my humble opinion of course. I have several of them. Robinson used to sell Polar at an outrageous price, but now sell some cheap/crappy brand. I am selling a used Polar F11 if your interested.

I remember I sent pm to you a couple of weeks ago as you had advertised some time previously, asking if you had sold it, but no response from you.

With all due respect I have been using HR monitors for over 20 years for triathlon & will stick with Garmins. After switching 5 years ago I never looked back.

Yes they do have GPS functions as well as other functions. Because the polar is a one trick pony does not make it the best horse on the race.

The Garmin has superior HR reception & accuracy in all conditions compared to Polars I have owned

Just an option for the OP to look at.....

20 years eh? I got my first one trick pony in 1989, my latest Polar has slightly more than that, including GPS inclinometer altitude, I quess Garmin suits you and Polar suits me, both fine products I'm sure good luck to you.

Yep different strokes are all good.

I have used both & Garmin came out on top for me.

Not so much for the more functions it carries but as I said for the

reception & accuracy...Which is after all the main reason I own one

But the other features are very useful & dont hurt.

In any case good luck to you & the OP
