problem with garmin 500 and HR

yiannism

I have replaced the battery recently from my HR, and its connecting to garmin. The problem is that when i get sweat it seems that is losing the connection. If i move the strap on my body its connecting again, but for very little time. Any ideas?

Could just be knackered. Does happen eventually. Put it in a gentle wash (without the transmitter on it). If it's still screwed then could be new strap time. Other brands offerings are interchangeable.

Yes sounds like a strap problem. The Polar ones are quite cheap.

Are they compatible with my garmin 500? if yes i will order it as soon as it possible.

Yes. It's just a strap and your Garmin pod clips on.

I’ve had two Garmin straps fail on me. Now on a Polar which, fingers crossed has been fine for 12 months...

I went with that, based on the good reviews, with the shipping in Cyprus cost me 17 euros. Lets see if will work properly
