I haven't read all the reviews, but one said you need an ESD strap. Should I order one? Are there more then one type?

You generally need to connect yourself to the system. I've found that an ESD strap with an alligator clip connector is perfect, especially for just experimenting.

I had to trade in the regular ergo for something with a larger waste strap. The Ergo Performance has about 5" longer strap than the regular one. Go to a store and try them on to see if they're comfortable. Ergo is a big investment but well worth it if it fits right. They also offer a waste strap extension but I feel it should be comfortable as is.

In case it falls, mine did, there is a safety strap. It cleans reasonably well, but some streaks will be seen. They say wipe them off with a cloth! How do you get to it????

All the new ones come with a secure ex. Mine came with a secure ex and will give you better options than a leather one. Wrapped mine with paracord in case I need some cordage.

I didn't use the strap and have had mine for almost 3 years. I haven't had any issues.

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.

I have seen an EMP Chamber called a red-neck EMP Chamber. It was a metal trash can with lid. I believe that your choice of the bag in question will protect your electronics. I myself thank-you for your idea. You can use a vacuum cleaner to pull air out and seal the bag. You can preserve and EMP protect any electronics. I plan to do what you asked about and store them in my gun safe. I have been told that any metalized covering is adequate as long as it completely surrounds the item. Good luck with your endeavor and God Bless!!!

Have you gone online to ghe Safety 1st company? I don't know the link but if you just type in safety 1st, some links should pop up. Once on the site go to a contact, if theur is a phone number, i'd call it. There must be an error--it should have tbe pads and harness! Let then know how inconvenient this and how dusappointed tou are and maybe they'll put a rush order out to you!

I don't remember what I paid for mine but this one did come with the monitor strap. Word to the wise- don't change the battery yourself. I did and then went on a beach vacation where I promptly realized that saltwater is not a good thing for the guts of a watch. I guess I didn't get the little gasket in exactly the right place when I put the watch back together? It's trash now.

Only one is needed to protect from ESD. Some people even wear it on their ankles so they don't get in the way of the work.

Mine came with an extra "E" string, a few picks. and two Allen wrenches of different sizes. also a very light plastic gig bag but no strap. I understand that some people did get one. I think it's up to the supplier.

Mine has a neoprene strap on it, but the picture for my product showed that's what I was getting. I wonder if they're carrying a different model now. Mine is over a year old. I'd like this one better as well.

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?

You should just need the chest strap heart rate monitor, the foot pod is really only to calculate the amount of steps you take. The watch itself is really the only thing you NEED.
