Pros: Adjustable, Durable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight, Rugged
"Very handy to be able to mount your watch (whatever type) on your handlebars. It is much safer. This is a universal mount and attaches via those clever little plastic ties that you see all over the place now (trim to fit).
Cheap, effective and a very good idea."

Fits most watches
Pros: Great Value, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit
"Got this Polar bike mount for my Garmin 310XT watch. The mount fits easily to your handlebars with provided mini cable ties. The mount doesn't move around at all on my bike (MTB) even when going over rough terrain. The watch fits perfectly onto it and you are able to tighten the strap quite hard as the mount has a bit of flex in it allowing it to let the watch really grip it. I would definitely recommend this item and will be getting another for my road bike. Cheap as well."

Good concept but bulkier than I expected
Pros: High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight
Cons: Unattractive, Bulky
"I bought this thinking that it would take up no more room than a normal cycling computer (cateye, etc) but upon opening I discovered that as it designed to take number of different HRM's the design is slightly bigger.
My HRM has a lot of adjustment in the strap so you can tighten the wristband so the circumference is quite small. I guess that not all HRM's are designed this way. So to accommodate many different HRM's the circumference of the Polar mount is quite bulky around the handlebar.
There is NOTHING functionally wrong with the mount (I use it for turbo training) it is just a bit bulky for normal use IMO."
"Easy to mount and easy to strap you polar or other wathc on it."

Pros: Lightweight
"lightweight, holds my polar heart rate monitor inplace"
"I wanted a handlebar mount for my Garmin Forerunner 405 after too many wobbles as I checked my speed when wearing it on my wrist. This is a small bit of plastic that attaches (quite neatly) to the handlebars with the use of cable ties. It is very secure when in place and makes it much easier to use my watch safely. I chose this over the garmin one as it was half the price and I think it does the job well."

Useful, but.....
Cons: Unattractive
"This does what it is meant to do, although it is a little larger than I had hoped. It is larger than I had hoped and it is fixed with zip ties so it has to stay on the handlebars all the time, which looks a bit odd if you havent got the monitor on it."

Serves a purpose
Pros: Great Value, Lightweight, Good Fit
"I needed a mount for my polar wrist watch heart monitor - this fits the bill Easily zip ties to the handlebars or anywhere else on the bike you like.
You cant reuse the supplied ties if you need to remove it - but zip ties are not exactly like cold pressed latinum are they?
Had it on the bike a while now, no problems to report"

Does what it does
Pros: Good Fit
"I needed a way to attach my Garmin Forerunner to my handlebars. It sits neatly on the flat top surface, and buckles round the back, like an artificial wrist. Hasn't budged since I attached it. You could hack something together DIY-style, and save a couple of quid, but at least this looks a bit more professional."

Does what it advertises
Pros: Durable, High Quality, Rugged, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive
"Can't really fault it on it's application, which it does very well. If you have a polar HR watch then you need one of these to strap it to your handlebars.
As many have mentioned previously, it's not exactly good value for what amounts to piece of plastic and some zip ties, but unfortunately there's not much in the way of alternatives.
Fit's both sizes of handlebars."

Does what it says on the tin!
Pros: useful
Cons: setup and breakdown time
"Being in the early stages of my cycle training, I'm still getting use to what my heart rate feels like in the different zones, and my Polar HR monitor is proving invaluable in this area. To be able to simply strap the watch to my handlebars seems so obvious I can't imagine how I managed without it! ... A couple of cable ties securely fasten the mount in place, allowing me position my watch for the best view whilst riding - Simples! ... If I had to find a flaw with this process it would be having to fasten and unfasten the watch on each session, but this is only a minor niggle when compared to the benefits it has already given me."
