Faulty Polar HR Sensor

[craighowes]

I got a polar C725x and it is not picking up my correct HR, its reading much lower than it should be....

It gives me 40bpm when im riding.... I've tried wetting it more, losening it, tightening it....everything!!! dont mean for it to sound dirty but those are the facts... LOL

 

Has anyone had this problem, and how can u fix it?

 

If you cant fix it, can u just buy a new strap, or do u have to buy the strap and transponder? Lastly if you buy a new transponder, how does your watch know how to pick up the new signal?

 

Thanks

As far as I know Polar has an excellent after service record...take it to your LBS or Polar dealer, it should be sorted fuss free.

Have you checked the battery on the strap - I had this on a ride, put a new battery in (R15) and seems better.

Polar in Mid-rand will also test your strap if you take it there, then if faulty they can trade-in your old strap

Also had a problem with eratic reading. Cleaned the medal contacts on the strap where it clips into the transponder and the problem was solved.
