"Very disappointing quality control." - Review of Polar AXN 500 Altimeter/Heart Rate Watch

First watch: Bad altimeter. Altitude and temp readings would peg at the limits within a minute of being on my wrist (Failed temperature compensation or something). First Replacement: Battery died within a month. I would have taken a new battery, but Polar insisted on replacing it (must be a problem they've identified). Second Replacement: Bunches of bad pixels. It’s not very usable. I’m sending it back. Third Replacement: Maybe a Suunto?? Lots of bad BS from the Polar US customer support guys, too. They were very condescending. Bottom Line: I'd stay away from this line of Polar products.
