No problem! And thats not to say I don't have my gripes.
We originally got the h10 for horse hr, the app they made for that is... Garbage. Which is one of the reasons I made my own app initially. Thats not the same as the regular "for people" app, Polar Beat, which works nicely but its simple and meant to send to third party services through their site IMO.
The M450 I have (bike computer) has also been running strong for like a decade, though the buttons could have better placement IMO.
I also replaced the strap with a 3rd party one that I like a lot more.
This is an example of one of my sessions from the polar beat app:
For me, I really like them overall, I think they have some shortcomings but nothing that would have me looking at competitors again without good reason.
I have been considering a bike computer for a while but for the most part my watch has been sufficient for my needs, I didn't realise they made them as well. Might have to have a look into them.
Thanks for taking the time to screen shot the app too, funnily enough I actually recognise that as a friend of mine sends me screen shots from time to time when we are talking about workouts but he must crop the logo at the top off as I never realised that was a polar interface!
