    Just for context. I think it's fair to say that the majority of forum members probably use a Garmin HR strap? Fair comment? I'm guessing 50% would be a very conservative figure but let's go with that just for the hell of it.
    As of now, about 550 people have viewed this thread. So based on 50% that's 275 Garmin HR strap users. I haven't counted but I think we're still in single figures for reported failures within a year. It's likely everyone or nearly everyone who's viewed the thread and has had a problem will have commented so probably a <5% failure rate within one year? That's not spectacular but it's not horrendous either IMO.

    I was starting to think, wow these straps seem really unreliable but having thought about it I'm not so sure....


    So I have just been unlucky that all 3 I have purchased have failed within a year then?
    Nah, you're using them wrong! :wink:

    It does seem a few people have had multiple failures, which kinda goes against the odds and makes my "analysis" look less feasible. Then again plenty others have had no problems after years of use.
