Change default Heart Rate to BPM from Zones in Acitivities

There are three options in Heart Rate display for an activity: BPM, % of Max, and Zones.

Although I have gone into my Garmin Connect settings and CHANGED IT to BPM, the default display (when I view an activity) continues to be zones. I would rather have it display the way I want it rather than toggling between the three each time a view a new activity.

I tried following the instructions in the HELP menu, but it says to click SAVE after changing the setting, but I cannot see a SAVE icon???? Anybody know what's going on here?

And I tried it again...

...in SETTTINGS, it says that HR will be shown in BPM. In activities, however, it goes right to zones. so frustrating. I'm on a mac...could there be some compatibility problems??

What browser are you using on Mac? I've seen some people having other issues using Firefox on Mac ....

I'm using Safari at home, IE at work

Gerry, under SETTINGS, it IS set to BPM, not zones. However, under the activities, heart rate appears only as zones (e.g. 3.2, 3.6, etc.) even though when I "mouse" over the Heart Rate TITLE, it shows "Beats per Minute". Furthermore, when I open an individual activity, it is ALWAYS on ZONE, not BPM. If I change it to BPM, and "FINISH" editing the activity, it reverts to ZONE. Any ideas?

Dee,

After reading your last post, I also checked out my "Activities" screen.

Once again, my account seems to be working as expected. When I mouse-over the Avg HR column heading, it indicates bpm and the data values displayed are bpm. When I go to Settings screen and change default to zones, then return to activities, the mouse-over indicates zones and the data is displayed as zones.

It seems really strange if what is displayed in your Activites columns does not match what is shown by the mouse-over.

Sorry but I don't have any new ideas to offer ....
