@Jiffer, I'm so happy it's finally working for you! I know that when I was running a lot my Polar would register "0" if the spots on the strap were not wet enough or if my strap was not tight enough. Very frustrating. I even stopped a few times, looked around to make sure the coast was clear, pulled up my shirt enough to remove the strap, dipped the strap into a mud puddle for water (yuk), lifted my shirt enough to put it back on. Real fun stuff!

I like the idea of moving it to the left an inch or so also. Thanks for your persistence and for sharing so we can all learn.
