cf-lgWell the rumours of a new HR-SWIM strap appear to be FALSE. There is a new HR strap with an apparently extended battery (CR2032? is the same surely) life but not for under the water.

Part No.: 010-10997-07

Although if you look at both links you will see the pods appear different. The one from the GB shop is NOT the HRM-RUN pod. Indeed the pod seems to have a slightly unusual shape. Maybe the rumour is still alive 🙂 [or maybe it’s just the non HRM-RUN pod !!!]
