Works well but belt is not as comfortable as my previous one

I had the previous model of the Polar transmitter and belt to go with my Polar S625X Heart Rate Monitor and enjoy using them all regularly.

Recently the battery ran out. Although you are supposed to be able to open the back with a coin and change the battery, after a couple of years' wear and it not being opened, it was well and truly stuck and any coin we tried just tore up the plastic cover (if they could design a slot to take a screwdriver that might be better).

So I ordered this latest one to replace it. My rib cage measures 30" around and I'm a small-framed woman and, in the absence of any measurement guidelines, I guessed that the larger belt would be designed for large, muscular men, so I ordered a xs-s. It's almost too tight though so I think I should perhaps have ordered the large one after all.

For anyone who is also renewing their belt: The belt I had before, worked by clicking each end onto either side of the of the back of the transmitter (ie the transmitter acted as the clip to hold the belt around you). This belt has the transmitter clipped onto one part of it (so you don't have to unclip it when you take the belt off) and it has a separate hook to fasten the belt around you. Unfortunately the adjustable buckle part of the belt digs into my rib cage and the hook flap/cover is a bit irritating. Luckily the transmitter is exactly the same design as the one I had before so I'm just using it with my old belt.

My one final thought is that I should probabaly open the battery cover of my new transmitter on a regular basis, so that when I need to change the battery, there's a chance that I'll be able to get to it this time.

Great to work with

These people were great to work with. I only received the belt without the transmitter. Turns out there was a mix up between them and amazon. They sent me a prepaid shipping label and refunded my money promptly after the product was returned. I'd work with them again, hopefully I'd get the product I was wanting the first time though, but stuff like that happens sometimes and I really appreciated their understanding and reimbursement.

Great Product

The previous tranmitter from the old style belt caused me a lot of problems but this one works without a hitch

Great product

I wear this every time I workout. It is way more comfortable than the band that came in the original heart rate monitor kit. Works great and I can even clean it with an antibacterial wipe.

Polar WearLink is the first and only soft transmitter. The WearLink combines Superior Polar Technology with a fabric design. The electrodes, which pick up the heart's signal, are engineered right into the fabric strap.
