I just today discovered something weird and bad with my Polar FT-40 heart rate monitor.

Unlike my Garmin FR 305, if the Polar’s workout storage memory fills up, it quits recording. It acts like it is recording, but it’s not. The Garmin Forerunner will purge old data to make room for new.

I recall the Polar unit flashing a warning saying it was full, but I thought it was just that — a warning to let me know that it would be purging old data.

Moral – Upload and purge Polar memory frequently!
