4 months old...only me using it...it's been okay up until about 3-4 weeks ago and since then it's steadily getting worse.

3 batteries in and it won't keep an accurate reading...my smart watch is reading 140+'s and the chest strap is saying 70

We have other monitors in the house but I relocated them as far away as possible.

My wife uses our Peloton HRM and I use my Garmin HRM (chest strap) with ours with no issues. Try using one of your other chest strap monitors, it should work fine.

Seeing has how you have been using it for an extended period already, this might not do you any good, but do you get it wet prior to usage? I was having trouble with mine, but I started moistening it. That did the trick for me.

I took this advice and bought a Scoshe 24...I hope the armband doesn't bother me.

Mine has never bothered me at all and its definitely the most popular HR monitor on the peloton facebook group.
