Basically, the reason I want to check my data in Linux is because in some cases it's hard to check the heart rate while exercising. Specifically, I windsurf and would want to know what my heart rate is when windsurfing, and this is easy to check in a lull when I'm just comfortably cruising, but in a squall or a storm when conditions get challenging it gets a lot harder. Also, in the winter, I will carry the watch under my drysuit. That's why I want to be able to check my data afterwards. /Rasmus -- [email protected] mailing list
