Using only one HRM strap for both Polar HRM and iBike?

Hi

I was wondering if it was possible to somehow setup the HR feature with the iBike to in a way sync with my polar RS200 HRM? I ultimately would only like to throw on one HRM strap and see both HR pumping on my wrist watch and the iBike. Currently taking part in a tri and would love to have a continuous look at my HR as I go through the race.

Any ideas would be appreciated and hopefully nothing to technically challenged...

Thanks

The Polar strap won't work with the iBike and the iBike HR strap won't work with the Polar. They use different wireless systems.

Many people purchase an ANT+ compatible watch. Timex, Garmin and others make them.

Can the HR strap of Ibike be used for Suunto T3 watches since they are also ANT+?

If your Suunto T3 watch is ANT+ it will work with the iBike HR strap.
