I have had mine two months, and I think it needs a battery change.? I know it didnt have my heart rate correct today for my whole class. Any ideas what to do besides trying a new battery?

Thanks!

    are you only using it when you workout- The batteries in a HRM aren't meant to run continuously I think my Polar said 1 hour a day in the manual--

    just when I work out, but now that you mention it, I put it on before I leave work when I change for the gym, and dont take it off till I get home, So about three hours 5 x a week.. maybe thats it?

    So when you put it on do you hit start?

    I put my HRM on before leaving work but I don't hit start until I am at the gym- Now the clock doesn't kill the battey like using it for working out
