I've seen the ads for the suunto, and they seem to have a good HRM. Their big number thing, is a handy tool for people to keep in the arerobic training zone and limit the overtraining. Polar has a built in test as well.
polar's test takes two minutes of lying down. I can count it as my meditation time. I used to do it once a month, and I found that my number went from 40 to 51. I did it a few times in the past few days, and my number went to 45. I think that it may be from overtraining a little bit. So, I can't help with the Suunto specifically but if you are in the market for an HRM from what I've seen, they seem OK.

Do you know what your Vo2 max is now in L/Min?

Josh, I'm going to email you another excel file that is the Rockport VO2Max test.
it can be found here The number that the polar watch comes up with looks like ml/kg/min since the number is 45 to 51.

Also try this method. Since you can't do a true Vo2 max test your best bet it to do different vo2 sub max test. This is always one of my favorites

that's the same method, except that the rockport has the formula built into the spreadsheet.

SMJ, I'm going to try the VO2 max test you suggested. I went out and got a $50 polar watch heart rate monitor with the chest band. Looks like you saved me some serious dough.
I printed out that huge detailed physiology post. Looks like I'm the science dork who is willing to break it down and learn it. I Greatly appreciate your dedication.

Awesome polar makes a great product. I believe you can even save the data to your computer. Let us know how everything goes.
