I have been using an ultrasound gel for a few years now and never get funky readings anymore.

Hi everyone, I've been wearing the same strap for almost 10 years... it came with my Polar FT7 , I thought my $138 polar hrm was no good and bought another but found out it was fine and now I wear both watches whenever I workout.
My maintenance routine is simpler: When I go to put the strap on: I wet the sensor backs of the strap (a mesh material) with just a little water. Next I put a small dab of my "Buh Bump heart rate monitor electrode cream."( approx $3.00) The amount I use is miniscule. Tip of fingernail size. Then I put a few more drops of water to moisten it again. Then dab the back of the sensor and clip it to the strap. It fits snuggly and tightly under the bra. After my workout, I separate the sensor, I rinse the strap in cold water and hang the strap to air dry. Replacing the battery every 6 months to a year. I used to get the dreaded 00 reading, then when I took it off it was not moist. Katchaser1, your electrode cream looks good too. The right amount of gel is really important... can't use too much either.

I'll definitely buy some ultrasound/electrode cream & see if that helps. I don't want to buy a new heart rate monitor, but if I do, I might buy a Sunnto instead |
