I have a strange problem wit my dual HRM band. Its new. The Edge finds it and connects to it, but the HR is intermittent. shows and disappear. Once I pull the band and release it shows fpr a few seconds and go waay again. I bought a new one thinking that my previous one was damaged, having the same behavior, but I got exactly the same problem. Any suggestion ?

This is also with a new battery in. Seriously disappointed and thinking of going for Polar... unless someone here has another tip?

Have you contacted Garmin Support. They are generally good at assisting / replacing when there are issues.

Well I did contacted Garmin support and they dos exchange the banda. I did not test it yet. Meanwhile I am using a decathlon banda working perfectly.

This is the best solution! Finally gave up on the Garmin HRM and also went with Polar. Fully agree, the Polar “works like a charm.” It connects, stays connected, and creates readings for the full duration of my longer bike rides. It paired fine with my Garmin bike computer.
