pjbphd said:I bludgeoning my way through things but there are some questions that
neither the software nor the HR manual answer. For instance I often
exercise at lunch, then do something aerobic after work. I'm not sure if I
can record both exercise events and download them or if only the most recent
will be recalled.
Both will be downloaded and appear as Exercise 1 and 2 on the same day.
It will also give you the option of deleting any remaining exercises in
memory. Our cross-training class usually has a "warmup" (exercise 1),
then stretching (turn the hrm off for this), then a circuit of some sort
where I turn it on again for the 2nd exercise. One day I went
snowshoeing afterward and recorded a 3rd session. This can be done
across multiple days, and they appear on appropriate day. The ability to
have multiple workouts is a primary reason I got the 625 (vs my old 420).

I'm also trying to figure out how to download my Optifit or whatever they
call the tests. I can do them and get the numbers off of the watch, but
when I go to the software it tells me I need an R-R exercise. I thought
that's what I'd been doing. Again, very little explanation. Maybe the
explanation was in Finnish and didn't translate ;=0.
Can't help you here. I haven't tried any of the tests. I only run 3 days
a week, and I have a hard time wanting to spend one of them on a test,
not to mention my running conditions usually aren't reproducible because
of trail conditions.

Anyway, I wish there was a S625X for Dummies guide.
Actually, the software is the same as most of their other hrm's.
Good luck.
