My sweat must be highly corrosive, and I don't see any easy way to fix it. Any suggestions would be welcome!
Ended up replacing mine after 2 years because I'm like an Irish cardigan-- a heavy sweater.
Replaced the strap once, which bought me some time. Eventually the unit itself went haywire. I figured 2 years/12,000+ miles was acceptable.
I do regularly wash the strap, seems to help.
I've heard from others that they contacted Wahoo customer support and they hooked them up on a new one, though. It never occurred to me to try that, although I've had excellent experiences with Wahoo support on other issues.
