Welcome to New Arrivals, a section showcasing the latest equipment that's landed on the Cyclingnews tech desk. Look out for reviews over the next few months when we've clocked up some saddle time with this stuff.

Cateye expands off your handlebars and on to your wrist with this pair of heart rate monitor (HRM) watches. Both have the expected basic HRM functions - current, average and maximum heart rate, plus target zones, exercise profiles (three on the MSC-HR200); alarms; exercise time; calories burned; percentage of Calories from fat and clock functions such as stop watch and, of course, telling the time.

The MSC-HR200 adds up to 44 laps of recorded data and a lap data review function.
