Should also add that I also had no problems with them either

Timex Run Trainer does too, and a few others. Polar doesn't, they have their own proprietary data format. (You can put a Garmin HR sensor on a Polar chest band, though, and some people find them more comfortable and reliable than the Garmin bands. Me, I find they work about equally well at transmitting data and cutting a hole in my chest)
