    Change the battery? Make sure your bra isn't slipping underneath is (I discovered this was happening to mine).

    i have a POLAR FT4 and it started doing this. I changed the battery in the watch and then it was fixed. Sometimes batteries just get old before their time, so maybe a new one is in order.

    And the bra thing as above as well..,,,

    most definitely read. "tried running over it" and thought, well there's your problem. then reread it. no other advice.

    First, make sure it's on. I say that because I forgot to turn mine on a time or two. Accidentally turned it off. If nothing else works, you probably need a battery. Also, clean the HRM. Dust can keep it from working.

    yep my battery ran out way earlier than it was predicted to...and Voila...we work again... but mine battery that had to be changed was in the thing that you hook onto the chest strap not the watch battery....
