I like to swim w/ a heart rate monitor. I have a Polar that is "water resistant." Lately I've noticed that it is not working 100%. It keeps time perfectly, but my heart rate does not always register properly. If I shake my arm where the watch part is, it will start working again so I'm thinking maybe it is not meant to be in the pool.
Does anyone know what exactly water resistant v. water proof means?
Does anyone else swim with a heart rate monitor? Any problems? Solutions?
Thanks!

Thanks!
Mind you it's probably the battery in the strap, not the watch. The polar straps aren't user seruceable, in fact I think they aren't user serviceable at all. You send it in and if you need another they give you a 15 dollar credit.
