− | Older Reviews: [[Polar RC3 GPS]], [[Soleus 1.0]]. | + | The score is the sum of how well each watch can answer the four basic questions (how far, how fast, where are you, what's your cadence.) Value for money is the score divided by the price (at the time I last updated the table.) Your needs may be different, so you might weight the different aspects of the watches differently, or be basing your decision on different criteria totally. Hopefully this table will give you a good starting point for your decision. (Older Reviews: [[Polar RC3 GPS]], [[Soleus 1.0]], [[Motorola Motoactv]].) |

The score is the sum of how well each watch can answer the four basic questions (how far, how fast, where are you, what's your cadence.) Value for money is the score divided by the price (at the time I last updated the table.) Your needs may be different, so you might weight the different aspects of the watches differently, or be basing your decision on different criteria totally. Hopefully this table will give you a good starting point for your decision. (Older Reviews: Polar RC3 GPS, Soleus 1.0, Motorola Motoactv.)
