Bp is 155 over 73
There are a whole list of other factors that need to be looked at here. Athletes have lower heart rates than the rest of us. The BP is a bit high. Both situations need to be reviewed by a doctor. They can do tests that the rest of us on the internet can't do to look at the heart rate and BP at the same time.

Hello,
It sounds like most of you have the heart rate set to display in % of max heart rate. Most Polar products have the option of heart rate in BPM(beats per minute) or percentage of max.
If you look at the display during the exercise, you will see a % icon. You can turn it off in by hitting the back button and go down to HR view settings.
Hope this helps.

I Have had the same problem couple of times (and forgotten each time how I solved it). I figured it out just now and this is what I did.
1) turn on unit and put on heart monitor (make sure battery is good and wet heart strap)
2) using the mode button navigate the menus to: Settings: General: Accessories: Heart Rate Monitor
3) Once in the Heart Rate Monitor option make sure "Yes" is selected and then use the arrow buttons to highlight "Restart Scan" . Press the enter button to rescan for your heart monitor. (I had to rescan twice)
Go back to the main monitor screen to see if you are recieving heart rate signals.
I am not sure why a manual rescan needs to be done every time but it would be nice if Garmin fixed this issues in a unit software update (my unit has software version 2.80)

Replace the battery. Then make sure that it is placed on the proper artery that it is supposed to be on. If your heart rate was 210 you would be in the hospital with a heart attack. And also the only person I know with a heart rate of 90 when running is Lance Armstrong. Your heart rate should be about 120 to 135 and it will just around in those areas but should never go higher
SOURCE: inaccurate/intermittent heart rate info?
Here are the things I have noticed that help:
- enough moisture between the HR monitor and your chest. Apply water right before your workout to make sure it isn't all dry between the time you put on your monitor and when you actually started your workout.
- Make sure the strap is tight enough. Mine gets loose over time and the bouncing of running will give me inaccurate readings until I tighten it up again. You can test if this is the problem by using your hands to press the monitor more tightly against your chest - if that seems to fix the problem that a loose strap could be it.
- Use a "conductive gel" instead of water between the monitor and your chest. Conductive gels are pretty cheap.
SOURCE: i cant figure out how to change the setting for
The large A stands for age...when hit mode and that screen appears, hold the mode button until you see the number start flashing...Then use the buttons on the right to toggle to your age..then you can hit the mode button again to switch from the number to the F and you can change that to an M for a male...
The purpose of this is to let the watch know your gender and age in order to properly calculate your heart rate percentage..
