Seem that my heart rate readout is too low... When it starts reading my heart rate I get 78 to 80! I know my average is 110!

What activity are you doing when "it starts reading"? 78-80 bpm seems pretty reasonable for a relatively fit person to exhibit when they leisurely walk across flat ground. That's where mine starts reading after I walk from my house to my garage and get ready to start my bike ride. My resting heart rate is about 51 bpm (just before I get out of bed). You can verify the accuracy by feeling your pulse with your index finger on your jugular, counting the number of beats in 10 seconds and then multiply that by 6. I routinely check my timex monitor like this and it's pretty bang on accurate. The only time it's not accurate is when I ride my bike in sub zero weather.

I am not a physician but 78-80 would "normal" at rest for an adult; lower if you're highly trained. I would just count it manually and compare. Mine is accurate as far as I can tell.

Not sure, it just doesn't seem to sense the pulse at times. Try putting it on your thumbnail

Click mode till u find pulse then click set wait till it beeps the screen should have a little heart and the word touch. Then put finger on button till it reads your heart rate.

I would say not really. I think most oximeters will have problems at high heart rates unless they are specifically designed for sports. I noticed that it takes awhile to get a reading until my heart rate comes down below 150 BPM.

It doesn't show minimum. It shows your time active, average, and peak.You press and hold the middle grey button till it says HOLD FOR INFO. Release the button when you see "activity". (how long you had the heart rate monitor running) Press again for avg bpm, and again for peak bpm.

My resting HR is 35 at its lowest. Watch hones in. But even so, there's no way your pulse will be at 43 after a little warm up so if you have issues just synch your pulse after a couple of minutes of warmup.

I have had my 205 for about 4 months and it appears to be pretty accurate most of the time . The last 2 weeks the heart rate monirtor is very erratic. It starts out, and stays, at about 68-70 and reamins static for about 5 minutes It will then kick in and stay in tune with another polar that i have. It will then proceed to be inaccurate and bounce around. I have changed the battery on the chest unit twice. No difference. Any thouhgts?

Since the monitor picks up your pulse, I'd suggest that if it's not showing a regular beat, then go get a heart check-up. It's just my thought that it would give an irregular pulse rate.I just finished trying it on my husband, who DOES have an irregular heart beat & the little heart shows a "blip" every 3 beats, which would definitely be his irregular heart beat. Hope that helps. Just watch the little heart on your monitor.

No, you oxygen should read 95 or higher. You might want to check it against a reading at your doctors.

Mine would never take a heart rate reading, so I SMASHED IT AND THREW IT AWAY. I had to take it off and use THUMBS OF BOTH HANDS to get a heart rate reading. This device is GARBAGE.

Yes, but I don't think it's quite accurate. I have a very high max heart rate, and so it would tell me I was burning about 10% to 20% more than I was.

The top number is your heart rate. Bottom is your oxygen concentration which you usually want above 92. Sit up straight and take some deep breaths when you are measuring your O2 concentration. I have checked mine against the one at the office and it is right on.

Hi Kathy, I have this pulse-ox, the oxygen reading is on the top, the bottom reading is the heart rate. I use one for work. It does what I need. Bleach-rt

This isn't meant to take readings while exercising. It won't take your HR while on your wrist. You'd have to take it off, activate the screen, keep tapping the toggle button until you reach the HR / Sleep mode screen, swipe to activate HR reader, hold the Pulse between your fingers gently (holding it firm causes reading to fail) and wait about 7 seconds. This process is easy for me and I have taken my reading while running but I don't see most people having the patience.

I find that the heart rate monitor works quite well. Sometimes it takes a little longer than normal because of it changing while I am working out, etc.And sometimes if I am super sweaty I have to wipe some sweat off first for it to work.

Hello,Mine is measuring 3.88 on average. If I were you I would reset and then see where it goes. Twenty five sounds outrageously high. I would check it again then if the numbers are still that high I would buy one of those radon detectors that you mail in to compare the readings. I love the unit I bought as I can move it to different places. I have reset it a few times but overall it seems to be working quite well. I really hope those readings are bogus and that it just needs to be reset. If not you will have to have a system put in for remediation.

I have never used that option. You can bypass the range mode and use the tracking mode which keeps suggesting the heart rate goal monitoring. When you get your heart rate (for example) to a suggested rate of 118 it will up the goal to 126. Then when you reach 126, it will up the goal to 132. I stopped mine at that point before my heart started pounding out of my chest and switched it to a steady constant heart rate readout. It works very well as a no frails heart monitor.
