Hi to all, hope everyone's OK, had a few problems with the chest strap with drop outs for about 10 or so mins during my jog, seems to happen after an hour or so into the jog, I've got it paired to a Polar M430 and on my zone 2 jog today dropped from the mid 70% to around 20% for a while.
I have it positioned in the centre of my chest, so during the drop out I moved it closer to the heart and things recovered but will try again tomorrow.
I've in paired re paired to the watch after every jog, but still seems to be a problem ,I've checked the battery status and reading full in Polar Beat app bought new on June, contacted Polar Support but not heard anything yet.
Wonder if anyone else has issues with the chest strap.
Thanks Paul.

Either that or chest strap isn't tight enough but shouldn't really be a problem as already well into the run.
I am having big issues with the H10 too. Check my attached run.
And I know at least one more person having the same problems.
You can try resetting the sensor (copied from the polar support page):
- Remove the battery.
- Press the metal snaps that attach to the strap with your fingers for at least 10 seconds.
- Wait 30 seconds and then put the battery back in.
After the reset you need to pair the sensor with your devices again.
I'll write to Polar about it, the H10 is not exactly cheap.
Good to see your training is going well.
Hope this helps a little Roach, Polar have got back to me but they don't seem to understand that the problem is with the sensor failing, they kept mentioning about a pairing issue, but it pairs fine with Polar Beat, Flow and on the web portal and the M430, the issue is not a pairing one but a failure of the sensor, will let you know how I get on with it, but looks better now the sensor is closer to my heart.
But going into McDonalds for more than a coffee, tut tut. 😞
In time you'll not want the junk, honestly. But habits are hard to break. It doesn't mean you have to eat healthy stuff all the time, just less of the junk as time goes on, and a smaller portion or a wiser choice from the menu. It will happen.
Also, happy birthday :)
I'll post back as soon as I get an answer from Polar.
