Tim B replied to Monty Wolf's discussion Garmin Edge 800 heart rate problem."Well, I had my Edge 500 replaced under warranty for a button problem, the HR still drops out as before, upgraded to V3 firmware the other day and it still happens, so I guess thats it."
Rob (Chewbacca) replied to Monty Wolf's discussion Garmin Edge 800 heart rate problem."Doesnt surprize me....should be able to install from the box and have it work.....noticed that the speed doesnt record very well ....have it recording at less than 5km/hr whilst going down hill for brief periods....the polar cs 200 is more accurate"
maya replied to Monty Wolf's discussion What jacket will I need for the middle of winter?"I find it's essential to cover ears from wind and cold. once you're moving, it doesn't feel so cold for the rest. But I am Canadian and cold has a different meaning there!!!"
Just another psycho-list replied to Monty Wolf's discussion What jacket will I need for the middle of winter?"Hi Bekster,
I have one of those Pearl Izumi wind vests - wore it in the cold at the end of last winter and found it to be excellent. Sometimes can get a bit steamy inside though if you go uphills or fast.
I now have a Dutch jacket which is…"

Martin Turner replied to Monty Wolf's discussion Garmin Edge 800 heart rate problem."That sounds like the Garmin 500 unit is the problem rather than the HR sensor."
"i also see people wearing the strap too low, just below your nipple should work best"
Tim B replied to Monty Wolf's discussion Garmin Edge 800 heart rate problem."I've done all the suggested things with the Garmin 500, but still get regular dropouts. I originally had the Garmin premium strap and now have the Polar strap, tried wearing it upside down, on my side and back, wash it regular, new battery etc…"
"ensure strap in fitted on you first before turning garmin on too"
Darren Bosanko replied to Monty Wolf's discussion Garmin Edge 800 heart rate problem."You really need to wash the heart rate monitor in warm soapy water. If you get any much (may not Even be visible) on the contacts it will start reading low or high. Best to rinse after each use. They don't last for ever. It may be beyond saving…"
Matt "Boz" replied to Monty Wolf's discussion Garmin Edge 800 heart rate problem."It is the premium soft strap .... maybe time for a good clean "
Mark H replied to Monty Wolf's discussion Garmin Edge 800 heart rate problem."Is it an original hard strap or 'premium soft' strap monitor?
