I'm looking to purchase the Polar M400 with HRM. I wanted to get other users thoughts first!

    I bought mine late last year after spending hours reviewing the various options between Garmin, TomTom & Polar. The M400 was the one with the most features, and surprisingly, the cheapest & best looking. So in the end, it was a no-brainer. And I absolutely love it. GPS picks up way quicker than my old Garmin. The Polar interface is fantastic. Bluetooth to your phone gives you instant feedback when you finish a session. You can set up loads of different session profiles. The heart rate monitor is the first one I've owned that is comfortable too. And that picks up signal instantly, unlike my old Garmin where I had to fiddle with the chest strap all the time to get the signal to the watch. There are also regular software updates such as cadence that mean you can end up getting more than you paid for which is always a bonus! The activity tracker is great too - prompts you if you are bone idle for too long ;-) Gives you suggestions for what activity you need to do to meet your target if you're falling short through the day. Also gives you celebratory messages when you've done a session, as well as instant feedback on personal bests. The only thing that surprised me is the battery life when on a long training session - it only just lasts for a 7hr ride. Lucky I don't do such long rides that often! Oh, and it's waterproof, so can wear in the shower. I hated how my Garmin wasn't waterproof. Anyway, I'd highly recommend the Polar M400 - for activity tracking, running & cycling. It's way better than anything I've owned from Garmin.
