I have a Polar HRM also. I've replaced the battery once, after 2 years of use.

I'm going to echo what others have said and that is to check the positioning and wet down the chest strap sensors AND your skin before the workout. It'll help the readings come out accurately and consistently.

The only time I ever have issues with it reading improperly is when I'm doing high-impact movement like jumping jacks, where the chest strap gets jostled around. But re-adjusting always corrects the reading.
