I just bought a S520. However I live in San Francisco where power lines for the Muni are everywhere. I do get a drop off once in a while and erroneous readings. It happened with my previous Polar S150 (wired). It's the nature of the beast (wireless). On the flip side it is nice not having any wires! The S520 is an awesome tool for getting and staying in shape. I would never work out without it.
