Editor's Review:
The RS200 builds on the excellent RS100 by adding quite a few valuable features. These include and upgrade to the WearLink® coded transmitter (the best and most comfortable transmitter on the market), increased memory (records 16 workouts), basic interval features, and the ability to set three, instead of just one, target heart rate zones. These additional features will cost you another $40 or so, so they don't come cheap, but are still a good value, depending on your needs.There is one other variable HRM shoppers should consider with the RS200. The RS200 is compatible with the S1 foot pod, which will measure distance and speed. That will bump the price of the RS200 by about $80. Our testing of the Polar foot pod that came with the Polar S625X demonstrated that the S1 foot pod is an OK tool for measuring distance and speed, but not as accurate or as convenient as GPS solutions like the Garmin tools. Perhaps Polar has upgraded the foot pod since our testing when the S625X first came out, but we have not seen any evidence of that.
