Re: [RC] accuracy of hand helt heart rate monitors - SturmRanch
I have a two year old Polar heart monitor with the thin sensors. When I get real high readings, it's because one of the electrodes is not reading.
Being new to the sport, this initially freaked me out. I would look at my watch, think "Holy moley, he's at 220." Then, a high-mileage friend would remind me to check and I'd see the thin pad swinging in the breeze. Of course when I learned to secure it effectively, this quit happening.
