Can I rig a fix or just get a new one?

If you fix it, you will be like the guy stealing driving range golf balls. Just buy a new one.

Going to need closer and clearer pictures. Is there enough material left on the end of the device that you can drill two small holes, the diameter of a paperclip?

I gave it the pat treatment - good as new!

I wouldn't have done that...i would have used black tape.

i thought the pat treatment was to leave it sitting there and not use it, pretending nothing is wrong 🤣

in all seriousness tho, that better be a temp fix just until the replacement gets there, these things are too cheap to f-around with fixing.

No votes for JB weld? Not the strap to device, device to body.

i would fix it first, then let it sit there, and claim success.
PS - i lost the charge port cover for my elemnt - just a matter of time now.

Might be

You see where this is going. Drill the holes and get a watchband pin large enough to fit and use that with the strap.

stumbled across this thread and this was the first thing that came to mind.

cut the strap off and just use this to attach the HRM direct to your chest:

PS turns out he's a car guy, too. Wants to get an AMG GTR - and he's only in his 30s - not an old man like Pat!

Too bad he couldn’t change that saddle
Out for you.

I'm disturbed you your inefficient use of space but nice floor! Having my mom's garage floor painted in the same color next month.

This young guy had one of the most hideous swings I've ever seen. Really had to suppress laughter
