Hi ,I haveF6 hrm ,my strap broke ,so should I replace it with the t31strap ..n also wht is the diff between the coded n non coded straps

I honestly have no idea if you can replace one with a different one. And all I can tell you about the coded and the non-coded is that my non-coded goes with my Polar Heart Monitor watch and my coded one goes with my bike computer. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

I am not familiar with your HRM, so I can not answer about the strap you need. In general terms, some HRM protect themselves from picking up the signal from someone else's HRM by encoding the signal so it only responds to its own strap. These monitors have a way to adjust to the code of a new strap. If you have a monitor that does not have code protection, it will often not respond to a HRM that is coded, so you need an uncoded one.

Some equipment works with coded straps but other equipment will work only with uncoded straps. It depends on what you will use the strap with.

The "WearLink+" is the heart rate monitor worn on a chest strap (not the FT7). FT7 uses CR1632.

Not sure I can help. My watch body is marked "T5K535", not T5K537. Its chest strap can be adjusted between 36" down to 26", which I stretched to a tension that is snug yet comfortable, and then fixed in place with a safety pin thru the two layers of elastic forming the take-up loop. I hope this description is clear.

based on pictures I looked up of "h1 transmitter" it appears to be the newer one. it is definitely a cheaper/lower quality strap. The sensors are in a rubber/plastic strap that is mounted on the elastic strap. My older (more expensive) cycle transmitter strap had the sensors actually woven into the elastic strap, not a separate plastic/rubber piece. Also, the elastic of this strap is lower quality and has a few rough spots that itch my skin in back so I have to put it over my sports bra in back. Lastly, the hook/eye on this new on is ribbon sewed onto the elastic strap :( vs my older cycle strap in which the eye that the hook connected too was more seamless as part of the strap; it was not a separate sewn on piece and for sure not "ribbon" material. on the plus side tho, you can change the battery vs the old one in which I found required professional replacement of battery (at a true polar authorized dealer). Again, for $104 it's fine but I would be returning it had I paid $179 + tax & shipping as it's advertised on Polar's site.

I do not know about the 310xt I bought mine for the 910xt. The Garmin product is very tempermental,I have had three now and and none of them will hook up to the watch. I have gone to a chest strap called Wahoo and it is three years old given to me by my son and it works 100%. So beware. Ted

If I understand the question, if your old strap worked with the rubber handlebar mount, then this will, too. I happen to have lost my rubber mount, so I just went to a bike store and they had a box of various mounts and gave me one free.

yes. that is how it works. I am an athlete and lean and the strap fits well and i have not had a problem. i follow the instructions, wet the back first and it has been accurate for me. heart rate and timer can be displayed on same screen.

Has anyone else actually done the modification M. Ferguosn suggested in his posting? Also, what 6 screws? I only see four on the side near the strap lug. Thanks.

PROBABLY the best solution would be to contact Timex. you will have the number on your warranty/manual literature. it may be more feasable/cost effective to simply get a new watch and keep the other strap as a backup.but definitely check with timex

Interesting! I am looking at buying the 405 without the strap, as I still have the one from my now stolen 305. The Garmin support website says that some versions of the 405 are compatible with the HR monitor. How can you tell if the one you are buying is compatible? Or is it just a trick to make you buy the more expensive version?

Thanks for your response, C.J. Duchon!I went ahead and ordered the Women's Polar F6 HRM before seeing C.J. 's response and the response is spot on about what is included with the HRM watch.I have used the chest strap about 5 times. No where have I seen the strap size but I would think it would fit a size 40 inch chest comfortably, maybe a few inches more too.Overall, I very happy with the F6. If I had read C.J.'s comment before ordering the F6, I may have gone ahead and order the F7 instead. Not because of comfort issues with the chest strap included with this model, but because of the F7 including a chest strap with a user servicable battery. Thanks for your response, C.J.

I have a similar question as Bryon has. I have a Garmin Cycling Heart Rate Monitor (305) and was wondering if I could get by if I bought a running 305 and used my existing strap.

I love my strap and I show it off as far as the number of extensions I have an F model and I had two extensions left over. I will try it out on my A model. It worked out OK. I am a average size person if some is larger they would need extra. To solve the problem just have L M S

I would check the transmitter specs on polar site or send them an email. To my little knowledge all current polars work with this strap but there are two transmitter types in polar. Polar usa look up transmitters.

The manufacturer does not list a specific replacement strap, but there are generic straps on the market the will work.

I know that I bought mine after the recall date. If you go to their site it will direct you to the ordering site for the new straps. I ordered two and it took a while for them to arrive. As a side, my husband has not installed them yet and I've had no issues with the old ones yet.

I previously owned a Forerunner 305, which I lost at the bottom of a river last Fall. But the chest strap from that unit works with the 310xt just fine -- both use the ANT communications protocol, and you just need to pair the chest strap with your watch. For long events I found this strap uncomfortable, with the plastic strap digging into the sides of my chest. So I finally upgraded to the new stretchy fabric chest strap. This one works great, and is much more comfortable. Unlike the plastic strap you can't just wipe it off after a workout or race. You need to air dry it, and periodically hand wash it as the fabric picks up body oils and odors. I'd buy one again.
