anbody using it? can it happen to loose foot sensor when running in woods? it looks pretty compact and well fixed, but... i heard it becomes rather inaccurate when going uphill...

I do not use Polar S1 foot pod for running in the woods (you could consider some GPS based devices such as Garmin Forerunner 201 for more precise distance measure).
Polar foot sensor is OK for trail-road-grass running and it's really hard to easily lost it. Unfortunately, after 3 weeks of using it I breaked off shoes-string: my Salomon XA Comp Trail Running shoes have an asymmetrical lacing system with thin ropes and I just cannot replace them, so, I stopped using foot sensor. But this is my personal "shoes" issue.
Running computer itself is working pretty well, has a lot of features including altitude and thermometer measurement. Plus it has IR interface:))
