The hrt monitor's I've ever used didn't benefit from an additional product, & have lasted for years with a simple charge after use.
Ahhhh... yea did not think of that. Yea I had a polar HR a long time ago and unless you soaked the crap out of it, it would lose connection until you were super sweaty... which is when I started using some sort of this gel and just got used to it. I think that was back in the day where the straps more of a hard plastic across the chest versus what they are today, which are much more pliable.
