I am very satisfied with this product. It arrived in a timely manner, and it works perfectly.

I was frankly a little concerned that, despite the product description and picture, the item might not include the elastic strap with the transmitter, since Amazon listed the strap as an item frequently purchased with this item. In case anyone else is concerned, yes, it does come with the elastic strap!

The transmitter works well in general, although I’ve noticed it gives me trouble when running near power lines — I don’t know if anyone has found a way to prevent that yet.

Polar make great products. I still don’t know why they don’t add a silicon stripe (similar to those that you find on spandex bike pants) on the transmitter or belt to improve fastening.

The product was received on time and in perfect condition. I use the heart rate monitor in my daily workouts. Performance is very reliable.

This Transmitter works very well. I use it for spinning. It is effective in giving you feedback about your workout. The drawback is that wearing a band around your abdomen is a bit uncomfortable in warm conditions. The discomfort is worth it, though, since it allows your to work out more efficiently.

Belt arrived quickly in perfect condition and has been functioning well since. Using it with a Trimline treadmill replacing the Polar belt that came with it 7 years ago.

This is a fantastic and useful product that I will never buy again. There is an inexcusable flaw. The battery lasted just over a year of light use. We then learned that it cannot be replaced! Not only does Polar lie that it can last 2-5 years, they want you to buy the product again. Excellent product ruined by unacceptable ethics.

This product works wonderfuly, When it dies I will purchase the same one. I like this band rather than the other style so I highly recomend it.

I bought this as a replacement of the one that came with a polar heart rate monitor that broke, after five years of use, at the place where you attach the strap.

It worked just like the previous one, flawlessly.

I got this product to replace a very old one that showed symptoms of the battery finally dying. The replacement sensor works with my old Polar watch, and most importantly it works with my model WM100 Oregon Scientific SmartSync Heart Rate Logger with PC Download. The only downside is that it comes packaged with a size Medium elastic strap, which is useless to me because I still have to use a size Large at its maximum length. Good product that performs its function as designed.

Note: according to the manufacturer (Polar) the battery is theoretically not replaceable and therefore the whole sensor strap must be thrown away. I plan to dust of my old miniature electronic equipment repair skills to see what I can find in there, and if I am lucky I may be able to salvage the old one. An environmentally friendly improvement for Polar would be to redesign it with a replaceable battery. The logo sticker on the front eventually peels off anyway, so that would be a good place to start.
