Heart rate monitor not tracking accurately while rowing

[kcreeg]

I know others have had this same issue with the heart rate monitor not accurately reflecting your heart rate while using a rowing machine.  I wanted to post my solution to this.  I now take the watch off my wrist and put it under my sports bra next to my heart.  It work great.  I realize this only works for those of us who wear sports bras but I wanted to post the solution for those that can benefit from the suggestion.

Hi @kcreeg - thanks, that's a good solution for women, but for men I also found the watch works far better on a chest strap which can be made easily and cheaply for under $10, rather than on a wrist, it was cheaper than a bra and I doesn't look so peculiar on a man!!

It also measures steps on a treadmill, pushing a trolley, mowing, floors and other things more accurately.
