So, I added a Speed Master HRM from Amazon to my Chirstmas wish list, which my lovely wifey happily purchased for me.

I licked the sensor pads, strapped it on, and went for a run. No dice. Heart rate of zero for the entire time. I tried it with the sensor upside-down on my back, in case it was a hair problem. No dice.

I checked the battery in the sensor. 3.25v, plenty of juice.

I tried conductive ultrasound gel, no dice. Again.

I went to the local running store and bought a Polar FT-4. Perfect, on the first try. Guess what's getting returned tomorrow. Goes to show, I should have just put the Polar on my wish list to start.
