Hi,

Just wondering if anyone else has used the Timex personal trainer heart rate monitor? I just used mine for the first time and the calorie count seemed quite high. The beats per minute seems about 5 to 10 high at times, but my treadmill said I burned 603 calories while my heart rate monitor said 879? Any thoughts? Thanks!

    My Timex HRM was always a lot higher than my actual burn, which I didn't learn until I bought my GoWear Fit, sometimes up to twice as high as an actual burn!
