Garmin / Wahoo keeps picking up other people's HR monitors

a lot has changed since 2012, I wouldn’t draw any conclusions from those comments. Better to look at Ray’s recent reviews for any HRM you are considering.

Ooooofff. Well. Yesterday. Was going to try my other BT wahoo strap to compare data. Paired the wahoo strap to my wahoo device. Everything seemed hunky dory. Hours later I put the strap on, wet it and my chest. Head out the door. It won’t connect. Ok. No big deal. I’ve got 5 miles before I really need it. Won’t connect. I grab water bottle. Wet again. And again. Nothing. Abort the efforts.
I switch to my whoop strap, which has been laughably unreliable. It was fine, for the most part. Readings started falling. Posting 120bpm during and after the hardest effort I have put out in a very very long time.
I’ve always had good luck with my garmin strap but it seems like this colder weather doesn’t do any of them any favors.
Anyway. Case closed. Thanks for all the input and suggestions.
