Mine must be faulty as well, because it regularly pops up an alert asking if I want to connect to my Bluetooth HR strap, despite the fact that the device is already connected…

Don't know.

How do you not know? Nevertheless, my guess is you have the Polar connected via Bluetooth. It has been my understanding that Bluetooth only allows for one connected device at a time for each device type. In other words, if you have a Bluetooth HR strap connected, you can not connect a second Bluetooth HR strap. So, if my guess is right that you have your Polar connected via Bluetooth then that would explain why you aren't seeing the alerts like we are.

So, connect yours too via BT, simple, isn't it?

ANT+ is my preferred method of connecting sensors. In this case, I have my Polar H10 connected to my 955 via ANT+ and my treadmill via Bluetooth. I have a second Bluetooth channel open for my iPhone so I can check firmware, etc. but even without that, the 955 will see the Bluetooth monitor and ask if I want to connect to it before the treadmill picks it up.

That said, it's not nearly a big enough issue to stop using ANT+, but it is an issue that I would hope Garmin would address.
