After talking it up a few pages back, my Garmin 230 gave up the ghost this morning. Water got under the screen and the display went all crazy, then it started vibrating non-stop.

Since I was completely lost for the 4 hours I didn't have a watch, I stopped by Varsity Sports and bought the last Garmin 235 they had. Will be interesting to see how this wrist based heartrate monitor works. I've never used an HR monitor, so it'll probably be a game for me for a little while to see what the high score can be.

It sucks. It's intermittent. I have the 235 and used it quite a bit for run training a couple of years ago when I was running seriously. Maybe they've improved it since then, but the optical HR was practically useless about 80% of the time.

Typically, the HR data would look like the one below from one of my runs back then:
