Query: Useless heart monitor

I ordered this monitor through Amazon, and when it hadn't arrived from BikeSomewhere after 2 weeks, I called them and was told the item was delayed because it was faulty and their shipment had been "recalled by the manufacturer." They told me they had just gotten them again and shipped it to me the day before I called (thanks for the heads-up, bikesomewhere). I finally got the monitor, and it does not function well. The watch part works great, but according to the instructions the chest strap has to be SOAKING WET to send a signal to the watch (something not mentioned in the online product description), and even then does not send a reliable signal, even with the chest strap uncomfortably tight and the watch 6" away. In short, this monitor does not work - try something else.
