There are just too many to chose from - and why do the manufacturers make it so hard to work out what features they've got?
Polar ruled themselves out by spamming me last year, which makes the choice slightly easier!
I think all I need is a basic HRM, that I can use as a watch as well - i.e. backlight, and stopwatch with at least 26 split memories. The watch I've got at the moment does splits, but doesn't let you recall them!
100m water resist would be nice as well
Cardiosport GraphX - Is this a 20 lap or 100 lap product?
Do any of the cheaper cardiosport models have a decent stopwatch? - or should I get 2 watches, one that I can dive with, with a stopwatch, and a seperate HRM?
Any other brands offer good value?

A lot of other runners have found that they are a bit poor when compared to the polar range.

I use an Xtreme – marvellous – but I do get odd spiked reading from time to time, which I never experienced with the polar
The only reason I ditched the polar is the transmitter battery – you can’t change it yourself

Also has, inter alia (don't I sound posh?), 60 splits, records highest and ave HR for each split, and allows you to preset 3 different HR levels for different workouts.
