I'm looking to get a new heart rate monitor and wanted some advice. I just want to be able to record splits and then record the heart rates (average, max) associated with those splits. I don't care about "zones" or "calories" or anything like that. Does the RS100 do this? or do I need to step up to the 200 or 300. Happy New Year
Does anyone have any knowledge of this? thank you!
I'm looking at getting either the RS100 or RS300 myself... I suspect the RS200 is discontinued or being phased out.
It doesn't seem to be in the products list on the polar site:

Looking at the PDF manuals for RS100 and RS200, it seems that the RS100 won't do everything you want. It can display and record up to 99 laps, but after running you don't seem to be able to recall the ave HR, max HR and split time for every lap... just the summary and "best lap" data. For most people the RS100 is probably all they need, but maybe not everything you are after.
For more info, get a copy of the user manual:

I've used the RS100 for a couple of years, and it fits the bill. It will record and store,for one workout, lap times with avg & max HR. The ownzone feature is interesting. You enter your age/wt/max&min HR and it will automatically calculate an ideal min/max HR for your workout based on how your heart responds to a 5 min warmup.
