On the recommendation of several friends, I bought a Polar S120 heart
rate monitor to replace a Timex HRM. I'm a marathoner, and I've found
it much friendlier than the Timex, displaying split time, lap time, and
average heart rate simultaneously when I record a lap. Unfortunately,
I'm having a problem that they can't help me with, because they haven't
experienced it. While I am exercising, and almost invariably when I
want to record a lap, the display cycles through my time InZone and
other information. I have to wait for it to return to the normal
display before I can record the lap. It's only an annoyance, since it's
only a few seconds delay each mile. But it bugs the hell out of me, and
it will be a problem when I hit the track.
IIRC, it has happened to me in both Basic and Exe modes. Did I get my
watch in some mode that I don't know about? Is this a "feature" added
to S120s more recent than my friends'? Your help is appreciated.
Thanks,
