"ooopps". moment with HRM

JenBrown0210

So I thought I would share my mixup with my HRM. I got one about 6 months ago. I wore it every time I worked out. We ended up getting new ones, Polar FT4 love it and recommend it. My husband didn't have one before and never worked out with me. So I go to put it on like usual and this is our conversations

Him: "what are you doing?"

Me: " putting on my HRM, why?"

Him: "why are you putting water on the battery?"

Me: "that is where the connection is to pick up my heart rate"

Him: "no that is the battery, these strips on the sides are where you put the water"

Me: "oh"


So I have been putting water on the battery part of my HRM the whole time versus the connector strips lol!

Just thought I would share. Feel free to share any similar stories!

Haha - cute!

When I first got mine, I actually wore it all day, thinking it was for total calories burned. I was mystified that my body was burning 3000+ calories per day, and I wasn't losing anything. Then someone pointed out they're for workouts only, and not the same as the one you're supposed to wear all day. Whoops.
