Sorry, I sold my Sol when I bought the G2.

The new HRM is compatible with the Galileo Luna ( it also shows skin temperature ) , but the old polar t31 won't pair with G2Yesterday I was able to borrow a G2 from a member of my dive club and took it for a test dive. I tried pairing it with a polar T31 but it didn't work so I believe @giannis k . is correct. Maybe @beaverdivers confused the new heart rate monitor with the old one. Can anyone confirm if the new HRM is backward compatible with the Galileo Sol/Luna? @Hatul?
I assume the older Luna has the sealed HRM strap and the newer one has the one with the changeable battery.I own two Galileo lunas and with the new HRM strap the one has heartrate and skin temperature indication while on the other there is only the heartrate indication. Strange thing ! The only difference is that the first one has 1.4 HW while the other has 1.1. Does that solve the mystery ?
That may be premature as the Luna is still being shown on the Scubapro website and they updated the firmware to use the new HRM with the skin temp. I also did notice the discounts on the G2 offering free transmitter, but this may be to compete with the competition.I think the the Galileo and Luna have been made obsolete by SP. CMIIW. Also, G2 is selling at a steep discount. Something new coming soon? Wonder if it will support the useless HRM again?
