I too have the Suunto Vector. In my eyes it is one of the best investments I have ever bought. Go with the Suunto, they have amazing customer service and their watches just plain out rule and although big, look very sexy.

I think if it's the heart rate functions your going to be using most, polar is the way to go. They have been doing it for a long long time and as a sales person i never have problems with polar coming back defective or for whatever reason. However, polar is new to the whole outdoor beefy alt/barometer compass watch thing. If that's what you really want maybe go with suunto.

They both look realllly nice :D

GO SUUNTO!

Great compass' great customer service and great reputation!

I tried to get some info on Kestrel in another forum and bombed! Wouldn't recommend Kestrel BTW! Customer service???? Quality? Wish I had gone Suunto myself!
