Need some help with my Polar FT4. When the time of day is shown on the display, there's a number "2" with a circle around it in the lower right hand corner of the display. What does it mean and how do I get rid of it?

God Bless!

    This is of no help at all, but I just wanted to say - I thought you got poop on your HRM. ;)

    I have the same thing on mine. It appeared last week. My best friend said the same thing happened to her watch. I looked on line and in the manual that came with it but could not find any info. I think it may be that we are on page two of the training data entered from workouts. I have not downloaded the information online nor have earsed any of the workout data entered since I purchased the watch in January. That is just my thoughts not sure if it is correct. Can't wait to see what others say.

    The number 2 means that you have it set on Time 2. Mine right now shows the 2 next to the time, because I have it on Time 2 because of the time change. You can just go into your time settings and just set your time for time 1 and you shouldn't have that problem.

    This information may help future users who have this issue. Just push and hold down the bottom right hand button to get back to time 1, that should sort you out!

    I noticed most of these posts were in November/March and the Time 1 and Time 2 are set under "Time Zone." So, with these observations, and that they seem to happen to friends around the same time, I bet it's an auto setting for daylight savings time. The "2" is letting you know that it is adjusted from the original time you set. I get the same thing on my alarm clock - there's an indicator when we hit daylight savings time. BTW, this is just an observation on my part, I haven't found anything official. Just observations, so I could be totally wrong here.
