In late April 2009 I purchased a Polar FT80G1 Black Heart Rate Monitors Watch(FT80 with the GPS sensor). At first I loved the unit and it worked fine (great looks, cool features). After about a month of use the Polar heart rate monitors became inconsistent, e.g. halfway into a run the HRM just stopped showing HR only 00, other times the GPS would stop providing distance information, sometimes the GPS would work but the HR would stick at 00.

The manuals state that the wrist unit and transmitter batteries should last 1yr+. I had the batteries changed on each unit yet the problem persists. Other times I would be running indoor on a treadmill (using a fat burn or heart rate program) and at times the treadmill would stop because my HR was too low - treadmills at my gym thought I was dead so they turnoff(my gym is less than six months old - LIFETIME FITNESS so the equipment is new and well maintained.
