I’ve sat on this for long enough, so here’s the short version.
Time: 43:30 (chip), 43:37 (watch)
Pace: 7:00 (chip), 7:01 (watch)
Conditions for Get In Gear were less then ideal. It rained and was colder then I would have liked. Other then that, everything went well. Here’s the splits
| Mile | Split Time | Clock Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 8:01.6 | 8:01.6 |
| 2 | missed | |
| 3 | 13:42.2 | 21:43 |
| 4 | 6:44.6 | 28:28 |
| 5 | 6:49.6 | 35:18 |
| Finish | 8:19.5 | 43:37 |
I missed the mile two split, not sure what happened. I remember trying to push the lap button. As for Polar’s effort numbers, this 10K was comparable to my last two 10 mile runs.

What Polar do you use for all your running? Looking for something for my wife and just looking at what others are using.
I’ve had three different polar watches and I found each of them to be great tools.
I’ve currently use the S625X, and I’ve used the S610i and the S720i. Each of the watches was great for running — my primary interest — and the S720i and S625X have cycling functions. (speed, distance, cadence) The new softstrap is the best I’ve ever used, and I would recommend the models that I have used with enthusiasm.
Sascha uses a RS200sd which I think she has a love/hate relationship with. Perhaps she can add something about her experiences with it. She’s also used a Garamon which she disliked.
Other running friends have used other watches including various Nike, Timex, and Garamon models all with various levels of success. The lower end polars have been problematic. (like the A1 and the A5 — neither of which are on the current polar product list)

[...] I rolled across the finish line with a time that I knew was very close to my PR. It was a good race; I was happy with the result. Later I found out it was indeed a new PR by a few seconds. My 10K PR now stands at 43:19, down 18 seconds from last years result. [...]
