Polar's Broken Clips

A Polar CS400 came in for repair.
Though it's not me doing the fixing—that's the service center's job.

↑For anyone using a Polar CS-series heart rate monitor,
I always tell them verbally:
"The three clips break easily, so be careful when attaching and removing from the mount."
If they don't detach from the mount frequently, I sometimes apply a thin coat of silicone grease
to the clips, but even then they break sometimes.

↑I also took in a CS200 with the same issue.
This isn't the first time.
Knowing full well they break easily and still breaking them—
it must mean they're incredibly fragile.
