Those of you with Polar heart rate monitors know how the watch fits/ connects to the handlebar bracket in which the monitor sits: There is a pin (piston) on the handlebar bracket which protrudes into an orifice (cylinder) on the back of the watch.
Occasionally, I will look down and see that my mph readout is 0:0. If I push down gently on the watch to force the pin more firmly into the orifice, the speedometer immediately comes to life.
If I crank down the plastic wrist strap on the watch any tighter over the bracket, I risk tearing it.
Is there anything I can do/anyone has done to make a firmer/tighter seal between the pin and orifice? Any electrically conductive product?

Many thanks, Bob
I found it hard to get the wrist strap tight enough using its buckle. I place the watch on the bike mount with the strap slightly snug. Then I place of small wedge that I carved out of wood between the strap and the back of the mounting bracket pulling it very tight. This setup eliminated the problem you describe on my bike.
