Bazoaxe Nov 2022 9:12pm, 21 Nov 2022 23,968 posts	Bazoaxe Has anyone bought anything online from polar ? I need a new hr strap as the old one broke. They seem to add and £8.60 delivery charge regardless and I am not keen to pay that on something costing me £23.

Bazoaxe Nov 2022 9:38pm, 21 Nov 2022 23,969 posts	Bazoaxe It’s just the strap not the bit that clips in. Need to see if other places do just accessories.

SPR Nov 2022 4:59pm, 26 Nov 2022 39,033 posts	SPR I'm using it on road, but in any case I'd have thought you could compare if the terrain is constant or at least compare the bits that are the same.
K5 Gus Nov 2022 9:13pm, 27 Nov 2022 5,522 posts	K5 Gus Are all the health, sleep,fitness,etc metrics about someone worked out at device level, or at the person level ? ie If you had two GPS watches linked to your account, sometimes you wear one, sometimes the other, would you have different VO2 max figures, different sleep averages,different race readiness status, etc, etc, or does each device send data back to the Garmin servers and it's combined there at a person level ? A similar, and perhaps more common situation, would be a Garmin forerunner watch used for running, and a Edge bicycle unit - would both sets of data contribute to one overall set of fitness scores, or two separate sets ?
