My heart monitor is on the fritz…
Hey! I got a mio wristwatch heart monitor…and I use it when I walk and stuff.
It is acting kooky…I just changed the battery and I thought that would fix it…but alas…it hasn’t. In the middle of my walks, it likes to reset itself…frustrating…cause then I have to re-enter it all over again….
It is still under warranty so I am thinking about sending it back, but just wanted to see what everyone else uses. I like not having to use the chest band…and I think I prefer the wristband…but am open to suggestions!
I saw one that will actually track your route for you and then you can download it to a program on your computer…does anyone have one of those!?
Thanks!
I would return it, if it were up to me. I don’t have one.
Returning would prob be your best option while its under warrenty. I know its a pain but at least you could still replace it. My stuff usually fizzles AFTER the warrenty is up
Yeah girlie… return it. That’s so frustrating when it resets itself like that! I need to get a heart monitor too to accurately check my calories burned. And like yourself, I dont want one that has a band around my chest. Figure that’ll irritate my poor sensitve skin!
you’re waaaay more high tech than i am.
i’m not much help in that department. have a good day chrisie!
I would return it.
Everyone is so sweet…I should have mentioned that I got it on ebay…so I can’t return it…but I can ship it to them for repairs…and I think that is what I am going to do…that is…while I shop for a nicer model!
Thanks!
Hi Chrisie, I have a Polar F6 and a Polar F11. The F6 works really well, it’s just that after years of use the light stopped working, and I need the light in spin so I bought the F11 for something different.
I don’t workout without one. It makes me push myself harder. Sometimes I think I’m working hard and I look down and I’m 135. That’s usually at the beginning of the workout. I find the first 15 minutes the most difficult.
Anyway, I like them both, but like I said, the F6 is cheaper and it works just fine. I use that one when I run or do DVDs at home. It tracks your HR and calories burned. It does a lot of other stuff too, but those are the things I am most interested in. Check out their website.
I was hoping you would comment…I had a feeling you’d have one…I looked at the Polar’s…those very models…but opted for something a little cheaper…guess I got what I paid for: )
Thanks!
