This heart rate monitor, I can recommend without reservation. This is already my second device - the first I've lost after 4 years of active use. In this respect, one must not be saddened by the lack of opportunity, not to be able to change the battery. Since my friend has a Wear-Link set I had the opportunity to compare both devices. Conclusion: No significant difference in comfort and functionality. By having the transmitter, however, may decrease the Wear-Link, it happens from time to time that you have this then forget at home, which surely does not happen when T31C.
