  Pros:
  Flexible band design is more comfortable than the previous hard plastic design
  Transmitter is detachable from strap, so DIY battery replacement (with previous hard plastic combined transmitter/band version, had to send in strap when battery went bad)

  Cons: the fabric loop that secures the strap hook is flimsy and broke within 6 months. I’ve got to order a replacement.

  I bought this to replace the hard rubber one that came with my Polar RS100 a few years ago. So much for the 2000 hours or whatever the web site claims for the old non-replaceable battery. This strap has several advantages and a couple of things I didn’t like.

  Likes:
  Very comfortable
  Very responsive to the watch
  0 interuptions or loss of signal
  Easy to wash

  Dislikes:
  The clip they use to attach around chest could be better
  The signal pod is bigger than the T-31

  The likes by far outweight the dislikes, but couldn’t give a 5 star.

  I purchased one of these less than a year ago. The electronics went crazy after about 10 months and changing the battery was no help. The mechanism for latching the belt around you consists of two separate loops of cloth into which a plastic hook is inserted. The first loop broke after several months and the second loop broke just when the electronics went nuts. With the loops broken there is no way to wear the belt. A poorly designed and poorly constructed product!

  The belt that came with my Polar watch often failed (no heart rate picked up). This one works differently in that the transmitter is snapped onto the belt instead of being what connected the ends of the belt together. This seems to work much better with the exception that the transmitter can be knocked off if you chest happens to skim something (which is rare). Be sure to follow the directions and clean the belt after each use and put in the washer after five uses. Should have done that with my first one.
