The handlebar-mounted Polar CS200cad combines all the features of a high-end cycle computer with a fully functional heart rate monitor--the Polar Wearklink 31 coded transmitter. It provides a full range of cycling computer functions, and offers similar features to the CS200 but adds an advanced wireless cadence sensor (which measures your pedaling rate as RPM). Like the CS100 and CS200, it includes three new innovative Polar features: the Polar Cycling Coach (a Web-based coaching program and diary), estimated time of arrival (based on your speed), and automatic display scroll, which switches the information on the display according to your preferences. The CS200cad also adds a number of additional sophisticated functions, including memory of your last seven rides, downloading ride date to a PC via microphone, indication of whether you're above or below your average speed, and the ability to predict your calorie expenditure. Features include: - Wireless ECG accurate heart rate with Polar OwnCode (5kHz) to prevent cross-talk from other heart rate monitors
- Target heart rate zones with visual and audible alarms
- Graphical comparison of heart rate and speed
- Heart rate measurements: maximum of total and each lap, average of total
- Wireless cycling measurements: Speed (current, average and max); trip; distance
- Calorie consumption rate per kilometer
- Wheel size settings for two bicycles, speed sensor installation for different fork shapes
- Automatic lap recording (up to 50 laps) with exercise date
- Exercise file info page with date and time
- Semi-automatic backlighting
- Water resistance to 10 meters (protects against rain and splashes)
- SpeedPointer: Points out the difference between average speed/pace and actual speed/pace on the display by up/down arrows.
- Estimated Time of Arrival: Set the distance you are going to ride, and your cycling computer calculates the estimated time of arrival based on your cycling speed.
- Polar OwnCal: Shows your energy expenditure during one exercise session as well as your accumulated kilocalories during several exercise sessions. Because the OwnCal tracks both the energy expenditure during one exercise session and the accumulated kilocalories during a longer time e.g. one week, it helps in achieving both short term and long term goals.
- Cycling Economy/Intensity: Enables you to foresee your calorie expenditure and secure sufficient intake on a long ride. This feature is also useful for comparing and analyzing the loads of various training types.
- Compatible with Polar T31 and Polar T61 coded transmitters

The first EKG accurate wireless heart rate monitor was invented by Polar back in 1977 as a training tool for the Finnish National Cross Country Ski Team. The concept of "intensity training" by heart rate swept the athletic world in the eighties. By the 1990s, individuals were looking to heart rate monitors not only for performance training needs, but also for achieving everyday fitness goals. Today, the same concept of heart rate training is being used by world-class athletes as well as everyday people trying to lose weight. Polar is the leading brand among consumers, coaches, and personal trainers worldwide and the company is committed to not only producing the best products, but also being the leading educator on the benefits of heart rate based exercise.

 Battery Replacement? So What!, September 1, 2010
|
|
|
Yes, the batteries are not user replaceable. I tried to change the battery in the main unit, and now it's not stable. Butt let me add, I have been using this unit for 6 years or more. And tomorrow, I'm going to order two more units! This is a great device!

Solid value, June 10, 2010

I love this unit but it has more features than I really need. My main 'like' is that I can have distance, speed, cadence and heartrate on one screen in reasonably legible letters at one time. One downside is that it only logs your last seven rides so if you're keeping a logbook you need to update before you lose data.
I considered giving it 4 stars due to the non-replaceable nature of the batteries in the cadence and speed sensors but I had to rethink that upon realizing that other brands of costly cyclocomputer I owned either didn't last three years or needed a wiring harness replacement. Other computers such as the Garmin units are nice but require frequent recharging.
I own three CS200CADs due to their value and construction. I probably purchased the first one in 2005 and it's still working. If one dies I'll buy another and I would recommend it to friends.

 Don't buy this one, February 26, 2010

I purchased this cyclometer less than a year ago. I've put a lot of time in making it finally work correctly. The HR function is great, but the transmitter on the wheel works sporatically. I figure it needs a new battery, but frankly, I'm unwilling to go to the trouble of sending it back for replacement. This would be one of the best products out there if POLAR would have made the transmitter batteries user replaceable. It's disappointing to have to ship it off or buy a new transmitter. Buyer beware. You will fall in love with this bad boy, but he WILL disappoint.

Three years and still running perfectly, September 5, 2009
|

I'm a user of the CS-400 for several years. I swap the receiver between my road bike and my mountain bike. It has two wheel diameter set-ups but fortunately both my bikes have identical circumferences. I want to try to offset any complaint that the sensor does not work well. Actually, it might require some adjustment of the location so I have a few tips. I've used the CS-400 for years and had zero problems after setup. Setup can be somewhat frustrating sometimes though. That's why I decided to enter my two cents here.
1. Mount the sender/transmitter/pickup device and the monitor on the same side of the bike. These guys don't work very well if there's material between the two. Make sure the monitor is overhanging the handlebar or it can't "see" the transmitter. I can imagine that a fat road bike bar wrapped with rubber tape might cause the unit to be hidden from direct view of the fork-mounted transmitter.
2. Locate/position/install the transmitter very close to the magnet. As close as possible without clicking as it spins past the transmitter. A light will flash one time for each time there's a signal pick up when you're testing to see if there's a pick up between the magnet and the fork-mounted transmitter. Sweet! When the wheel rotates past the transmitter, a dim red light flashes one time. This tells you that the sensor/transmitter is picking up the signal from the magnet. Spint the wheel a few times and you'll hear a beep from the monitor as it automatically turns on. You have to set the program to AutoStart for this "beep-on" feature to work. After a few flashes, the light goes to sleep so if you're still testing after a few minutes you might not get the flash so don't think it's not working. Let it rest a few minutes and start again and you'll see the dim red light flash if the magnet is properly placed.
3. I like to use zip ties to install the hardware but beware, zip ties slip unless pulled very tight with a zip-tie puller which is basicaly a plier-type tool that grabs the tail of the zip and tugs it as tight as you dare to squeeze the handles. Buy or borrow one and the zips will hold forever. Fail to pull zips super tight is a guarantee that something will move after a while.
4. I don't know what kind of cadence magnet they are currently sending in this kit but mine was a tiny flat rectangular shaped magnet with sticky tape and a band of adhesive tape to wrap around the crank arm. Not good enough. A shop gave me a better crank arm magnet which is housed in plastic with a slot for a zip tie. See if you can find one of these for a better way to fasten it to your crank arm.
Final note: Did you ever wonder what we used to be doing with our time before we began to write and read dozens if not hundreds of reviews like these?

 Not as good as I hoped, June 30, 2009
|
|

I purchased this a year ago and already need to replace the speed sensor. Polar does not offer battery changes for the sensors, only the receiver. You will need to purchase a new sensor (speed, cadence) each time a battery dies. This can be pretty expensive after a few years. I tried to find a system that offers both heart rate and replaceable batteries and most are very expensive to purchase. Polar has a lock on the pulse rate market and it would be good business sense for a company to design a good inexpensive heart-rate bicycling computer.
