Suggestions for a new Heart Rate Monitor?

I recently broke my Polar M61 Heart Rate Monitor. When I was not using it I generally kept it hanging in the shower. It kept me honest since it would remind me to exercise if I skipped a few days. I dropped it on the shower floor recently and the monitor cracked in such a way that I cannot fix it. Well I could stick it in my pocket but the connection of the band is irreparably broken.

I am thinking about upgrading to a Heart Rate Monitor that tracks speed and distance while linking to my computer. I like data, charts, graphs, and spreadsheets, etc.

I am considering the Polar S625X with the S1 Foot Pod since I generally liked my old Polar HR monitor and this one does have all of the features I want. However, the overall cost it quite a bit more than I'd like to spend at this point. I am also looking at the Garmin 305 Wrist-Mounted GPS Navigator and Heart Rate Monitor. The price is much more reasonable than the Polar and has the added benefit of GPS tracking. My big concern about the Garmin is that it looks so large in the picture. Granted, the 305 looks tiny compared to the old Garmin 301. Of course I could always just get another Polar M61 since the price has come down so much since I first got mine a few years ago.
