How often do you replace the strap? Not the module just the strap..
I feel like I start to get wonky results after a few months of use. I do not know if it is me analyzing too much over the 50-100 cals missing...or if the belt does need replacement that often. Starts to seem VERY difficult to be in the yellow and impossible for red even though I feel I am busting my tail. Max heart rate unchanged - work outs done on rotating schedule that starts to repeat at approx every 2.5 - 3 months.
( used 6 times per week - wash machine wash cold every so often otherwise rinsed well in sink with light antibacterial soap and good rinse and hung to dry and I use ultra sound gel every time )
Any insight would be helpful and appreciated ~

I've got six or seven straps bought over the years, all of which I still use. I wear each one once and then fling in the wash in a net laundry bag. I got my first strap in January 2015 and it is still working fine - just a bit faded.
There is a MyZone users Facebook group where you might find some useful feedback. Quite a few people there complain of similar issues.1
