Physio is right, I'm 50 and my max is 187bpm. Only you will know if you were really pushing hard enough to get to max however, as sometimes the Garmin can give some out there readings.
What I learn't also is that you should wash your strap in a little mild soap and water every 7 uses. I didn't know this and started to get strange readings all over the place. Even though my strap was rinsed in fresh water after every paddle, salt builds up within the strap and causes inaccurate readings according to the manual.
Washing the strap in some mild soap and water returned the readings back to normal, and I had actually cut a couple of paddles short because I was worried about what my heart was doing

Touch wood haven't had any issues with mine, but what was the process you went through Stew to get back-up?
Always looking for the next boat

Hi Guys,
It's possible you did read some hectic cardio frequency when your battery off heart rate belt are to low.
I encounter the same problem few week ago, I 42, in good shape but I read 220P/min at slow pace in my surfski, I a little bit afraid for a few second ( I have heart attack
).
The day before I'm changing the battery of the belt everything come back to normal, 140 p/m at 16km/h...... no it's joke !
Mery Crismath to everybody !

Battery issue - what a bummer! Thought I'd reached giddy ultra-fitness heights riding the other day.
Yeah suspected it had to be battery, would need to be pumping around four beats a second for that250 bpm. Bring on the defibrillator.
Which raises the obvious, how do you change the strap battery (I have a 910XT), or is a strap re-purchase? I've had the watch for six to eight months use two or three times a week, separate watch and strap for most part.

This my speed and heart rate and you can see the correlation of a (slow) down wind and high heart rate while paddling loops!
