    Not familiar with that brand. Does it have a chest strap? Did ask you to enter your age, weight , and height when setting it up?

    I trust mine with what it says I have burned. As far min and max heart rate, I don't know the equation to get those so you may need to Google that but no they don't change with different exercise.

    Teasem - yes it does have a chest strap and i did enter my age,height weight but max n min heart rate confuses me

    reese66 - when i read instructions it shows diff. max heart rate and min heart rate for low ,medium n high intensity workout

    so confused

    Thanks guys

    I now know that I have the same HRM... But I think my hubby recalibrated it for himself the other day, so unless I reset it (I still don't understand how to use it), I'm sol :wink: G/l figuring yours out Kathy!
