LindsD Dec 2020 1:42pm, 13 Dec 2020 43,329 posts	LindsD Need a replacement strap for OH's 220. Anyone recommend a stockist? Garmin don't seem to do them and everywhere else I look seem to be offering non-branded ones. I want a branded one from a reputable supplier. TIA

SPR Dec 2020 10:41am, 15 Dec 2020 32,549 posts	SPR Really enjoying using the polar OH1+ now that I've got it working accurately, it's extremely comfortable and I can come in from a run and forget it on my arm. Won't get to race in it for awhile to test accuracy at high intensity but from a comfort perspective, I'll definitely be happy racing in it.
❄larkim❄ Dec 2020 10:45am, 15 Dec 2020 13,001 posts	❄larkim❄ Glad you've had a similarly positive experience to mine SPR. I fully expect to lose the charger at some point in my slightly chaotic house, but so far so good! My only issue with it has been a) the Polar app which for some reason doesn't facilitate RHR readouts, as it thinks every use of the device must be for an activity where HR is elevated and b) having to remember to charge it.
