I purchased this monitor about 6 months ago. I run/bike 5+ days a week and use it with the strap provided all the time. At first I thought it was working fine, but after a few workouts I noticed that the sweat on my wrists would activate the manual touch heart rate monitor and it would bypass the chest strap. It would act like I didn't have a pulse and would stop tracking my heart rate until I took off the watch and wiped the sweat off. When I bike I have to take the watch off completely and just attach it to the handle bars for the same reason. About 6 weeks ago the monitor now says that my heart rate is fluctuating between 210 and 225. I know it's not right because on my stationary bike I can place my hands on that heart rate monitor and it shows 145 like it should. I've replaced the batteries in both the strap and the watch but it still fluctuates in the 200's and sometimes dips to the 90's when I'm in full stride. I'm now in the process of looking for a replacement and I doubt I'll buy a sportline again. Very poor quality.Get more detail about Sportline 1010 Unisex Duo Heart Rate Monitor.
