Anyone has any of those heart-rate monitoring Polar watches? I'm considering one since I'm starting to run very frequently, would like to keep an eye on my heart rate. Any recommended models would be appreciated. I've seen some online, feel interested in the following two: rs100 or the rs200sd:

Polar HRMs have a very good reputation. I bought one other their cheapest models for my workouts, the FS-1. It does the job very well and has the minimal amount of features that I need, including a watch. I only wear it when working out as I much prefer my "Moto Guzzi" watch (limited special based on the Junkers 6256-2 automatic "WellBlech" watch). The FS-1 keeps better time though!

Thanks Guzziguy, good call! I do have to see if I need all the extra features of the other Polars, or if I'll wear it any other time but running. The FS1 might do just fine to check my heart-rate.

My wife and I use the trusty Polar A2.
I also have one for my mountain bike from Preformance Bike which also is a computer for the mileage, average speed/mph and so on.

Here is Chinese skeleton watch I picked up on eBay a few months ago...
It is a <cough> "replica" of an IWC Portugueser F.A. Jones skeleton watch. The real deal sells for over $40,000, I think. I paid quite a lot less for mine.

i dont understand people who buy replicas/fakes on purpose,
why spend money on a watch with no quality assurance, no warranty, no safety checks, and plus might break tommorow,
