 Great when it works August 15, 2010

This is the second Polar hrm i've owned, the first being an old A-series model that just wouldn't die. after six years of pretty regular use, it finally died and because of the great use i got out of my a-series, i bought the FT7 as its replacement.
The watch itself works great - nice big lighted face that's easy to read, and it doesn't look too bad either. the problem is with the transmitter - it's far touchier than my old model. i frequently wear the watch and hrm all day, and that seems to cause the transmitter to stop transmitting info to the watch. the watch will say "check transmitter" and shows zeros instead of my heart rate. this usually isn't a problem; i just go and wet the transmitter and it starts back up - but it IS a problem when i'm in the middle of a workout and i look down for a quick status check and all i get is an error message.
i called Polar's customer service about this and they told me the transmitter (not the strap itself) needs to be cleaned - preferrably with a toothbrush to get into the grooves - and that will make it transmit continually. they also recommended washing the strap every five days or so - no problem. i did everything Polar recommended and i still have the same problems.
i'm thinking of trying another model - or maybe another brand.
 Best Polar HR Monitor I have tried yet March 13, 2010

I love this product! I have owned several Polar HR monitors. This one is by far the easiest to set up and use - yet still accurately tracks details on multiple workout sessions. The chest strap is a new design that is very comfortable. Only cloth touches the skin; the transmitter snaps onto the front of the strap. The transmitter on my old chest strap irritated the area of my skin were it rested. I have used this new monitor and chest strap combination during biking, step, walking, and strength training. I have not experienced any signal drops outs even when I am bending over. I love the option that allows me to see the heart rate or calories in a large font so that I just have to quickly glance at my monitor while exercising to see my progress.
