I have no idea and don't care. A fastener on my metal razor broke and left me with a large supply of blades. Fortunately I had a plastic one in my Dopp Kit. I looked for a replacement in the stores to know avail. Found this one on Amazon, but it had to be part of a larger purchase. To me this is the best razor Gilette ever made. Tossed my mach 3 When I ran out of blades. I have a supply of sensor blades purchased on clearance that should last longer than 3 years. By the way, the plastic razor I purchased is heavier than the plastic one that was in my Dopp Kit.

I bought it for a friend (I'm using electrical machine) so I couldn't see the differences you mentioned. However, the most important point is that it will fit to the blade.

Way better. My ATO died in 2 years and in addition the sensor is much better design. I love it...

They seem very similar to me. A difference I do notice is one has a control knob you can spin to adjust the time and the other has a touch sensor that does not move to adjust the time similar to a smart phone's touch screen.

Sorry, I don't know. I will say that the stainless steel version is far superior to the old plastic coated ones.

It seems more like aluminum to me. I don't know. It could be stainless steel but it's very light.

not really sure. Parts of it (the top handle) sound like plastic when I tap on it but the side rails sound like some type of metal (aluminum). So far I really like it. I especially like the fact it doesn't have the brackets on the side that the other model has

It is probably the weight. The old ones felt heavier than these. The change to the new Diamax material is probably the cause.

Looks and feels like soft (thin?) metal. Has some give to it like plastic might have.

The sensor I received was the newer model with the black resin. It's still functioning well for me.

I believe all the specifications are the same. The difference is the color/finish of the metal. So, which ever you prefer!

I honestly have no idea. I don't think there is any difference. The cheaper one has a bunch more reviews so I'd say go for that one. Just remember the plastic part scratches pretty easily

Feels like plastic. It might be some kind of powder coat finish over metal, but I'm not going to scratch it to find out.

Hi Brianna, that was my primary reason for returning it. The buttons feel like plastic to me which was confusing given the metalized description given. It also didn't make sense to cover the metalized sides with plastic. It's a nice case if you want that but I wanted a more solid feel. Take a look at the Draco Supernova Bumper.

I've been told that there is better heat distribution with the thicker metal. Hope that helps :)

I owned silver S100. The Black S110 feels better. The grainier grippy finish is a nice description. Back is more stylish though personal preference.

based on pictures I looked up of "h1 transmitter" it appears to be the newer one. it is definitely a cheaper/lower quality strap. The sensors are in a rubber/plastic strap that is mounted on the elastic strap. My older (more expensive) cycle transmitter strap had the sensors actually woven into the elastic strap, not a separate plastic/rubber piece. Also, the elastic of this strap is lower quality and has a few rough spots that itch my skin in back so I have to put it over my sports bra in back. Lastly, the hook/eye on this new on is ribbon sewed onto the elastic strap :( vs my older cycle strap in which the eye that the hook connected too was more seamless as part of the strap; it was not a separate sewn on piece and for sure not "ribbon" material. on the plus side tho, you can change the battery vs the old one in which I found required professional replacement of battery (at a true polar authorized dealer). Again, for $104 it's fine but I would be returning it had I paid $179 + tax & shipping as it's advertised on Polar's site.

I like soft strap better. It feels more secure and reads more acurately. My plastic keeps skipping and is not as acurate. Soft is much more comfortable as well.
