HRM can't find the sweet spot on my wrist.

[AldousSnow]

Anyone else having trouble having the HRM find your pulse? Been trying for 2 days.... and nothing.

I am Learning that part of the challenge is getting the wrist band tension correct It is sort of Buddhist: too tight and it can't see anything to loose and it sees too much.

Has anyone tried wearing the watchface on the bottom of their wrist? I will try it and see how it does on a exercising mode. Couple reasons why. 1) less hair 2) blood vessels seem closer to the skin.

Went for a walk today, turned on "exercise" mode.. it kept the HRM on the whole time..once recording it at 63.. my heart rate isn't that low when I'm asleep, let alone walking at 3 mph. It got more accurate as I went and seems it might be able to replace my Polar -- the cals burned needs to be accurate and I will check that at the gym this week. Make sure it's snug enough.

I have found with mine, if I just go directly into the HRM, it will want me to be VERY still when it starts, then it will be good from there to read and find what it wants.
