as per those pics posted - put the strap against your skin just beneath your assets so that it is flat... even i with my negligible assest find if the strap creeps up then the sensor section loses contact with the skin and then i also "die off". wet teh strap before you put it on

 

i then make sure it stays in place by putting a crop-top on over the strap - a bra doesn't hold it as well.

I wear mine upside down, which seems to work better as well??

There are so many reasons it might not be working?

 

Distance between watch and strap, is strap moist, maybe batteries are going, too many other polars around, ummmmmm

 

Don't bite my head off....

as I posted earlier, and it is also included in the manufacturers instructions, PUT THE SENSOR ON YOUR BACK.  It will pick up your heart there as well.

Those dont work so well either' date=' to much bounce movement and then the pick up does not like it,,,

had experience wuth that then?  THat is why you need the lift and tuck that Azonic recommended.Big%20smileWink

 

Thank heaven I dont have these problems, in this case I prefer to be an innocent ignorant spectator...

 

Seriously I have heard quite a few ladies complaining about this most of them are runners or triathletes and the problems are mostly related to running. Problem is the HR pick ups dont like being moved around even if they remain in contact with the skin. Man can send thingys around mars but gravity she is hard to beat...

Is this a serious question? LOL

(perhaps gravity took its toll on your girlfriend Wink)

Don't put the strap too high up otherwise Thelma and Louise will lift the sensor up and you won't get a reading. It needs to make contact with you body to work.

Tell her to invest in a proper sports bra. Then tuck the belt underneath the bottom strechy part. (Therefor no need to lift and tuck, etc and the belt won't move around).

Ta-Da!!!

Mine sits perfectly in place held by the twins and either a sports top or bra.

Could also depend on the heart rate strap though.  I find the Polar one works well, but I tried another one (can't remember what brand) and it didn't work at all well.
