If you follow us on Twitter or belong to the our Facebook group, you were probably already aware of the Polar RS800CX BIKE that we received for review.
Finland-based Polar Electro is one of the very few companies giving Garmin some competition in the category of GPS devices for mountain bike enthusiasts. The new RS800CX BIKE sports wrist watch is the do-all personal trainer from Polar. Polar strives to help people get fit and improve their physical performance. The RS800CX BIKE is their top of the line training system specifically for cyclists.

Their products aren’t bad but I find the fact you cannot replace the batteries on their Speed and Cadence sensors yourself very annoying.
