Low cost and great reliabity.

Always worked for 6 years. For the price you can't go wrong. I ride about 2000 miles per year and I replace the batteries about once per year (no big deal takes 2032 and 2025).

Easy to use, displays HR in BPM as well as percentage.

Chest transmitter seal on the one I had. Don't know if anyone else has had that problem.

This is the second Axiom that I have owned. The previous one, an HR100, I gave to my son-in-law when he started training for triathlons. He is still using it a year later. I replaced the both batteries before I gave it to him. This one ran for over a year before the batteries had to be replaced. I replaced both at the same time in this one. Then about 6 months later, the chest strap seal didn't seal and I got sweat in it and it quit functioning. I got a new chest strap transmitter, $40, and it has been working fine since then. It stays in place on my mountain bike over the roughest terrain. I am looking now for one that records HR and cycle data but have no complaints about this one.

Polar, don't remember the model, but it was the cheapest they had for $150. It showed HR and sounded off if over or under HR, but nothing else. The Axiom provided many more features for less price.

cheap easy to use

loses signal quite often

This is a review for the HR600. The monitor works okay, and believe it or not, it does out perform the polar 510 I just had (too complex and lost signal constantly). For the money it is an okay buy. This one has issues with losing the signal. I have found the telemetry starp has to be completely doused with signal gel. Even then, I have had to stop and wet it with spit once it dries about halfway into my ride. I don''t think any one makes a fool-proof monitor, so my advice is to get a cheap one. That way you wont feel bad once it fritzes out.
