I want to buy a Garmin 800, but which one is good?

Hi Everyone.

I thinking to buy a Garmin, but I hear that the 800 isn't realy good.

Some people got problems with the heart rate meter.

Has Garmin done something on this problem,

or is there maybe a new one coming out?

Love my Garmin 800 - heart rate monitor works fine

If you read into the comments a bit you may find that people that have the Premium 'soft strap' heart rate monitor sometimes tend to have issues, it uses conducting fabric for the electrodes. From my experience people that don't have issues tend to have the original heart rate monitor with its larger conducting rubber electrodes. I have a original 'hard strap' monitor and have not had any problems with my Edge 500.

I find the original HRM strap very comfortable.
