    What brand/model? Agreed, sounds like an error/communications issue to me.

    It wasn't an expensive one, but it has the chest strap and read my heart rate really well all the way through then the cals just confused me, my average hr throughout was 140. its a pulse sonic one x

    Yeah sometimes the bands can be there but they can be interfered with power lines or mobile phones etc.. I remember it was what made me go for the Suunto M2 instead of the M1 because they improved the technology in the band.. Maybe hard reset enter all your settings and try again? Might have just been a little glitch..

    if you end up unable to figure out from the monitor what the calories were you can try this calculator using your avgHR
