Softstrap hrm

Hello all. I have 2 hrm that both give intermitant readings. Cutting out and going way to high. I borrowed another that works well to confirm. Is it worth trying to replace the strap? Or likely the pod is broken. Batteries changed. Cycling indoor and out. Thanks. Billy.

    Look at the sensor's silver button connection, on the outside of male button section (aereola of sorts...lol) do you see any rust or burnt looking areas?  I have had two warrantied from that issue.  Gives similar erratic high/low readings.   If you see that... it's days are numbered or dead already.

    Recently my new HRM-Dual went through wash/dryer... worked for a while.  Then started having similar issues or communications probs, took out battery and it was wet/weird... so was circuit board. $5 Amazon warranty to the rescue :-) lol   Might be worth checking battery conditions (burst/leaky?)

    Also winter is tough on sensors due to static/dryness... still a problem when full sweaty?
