I've learned to keep my regular watch (a cheap purple one that I wear when
I'm not using the HR monitor on training rides) away from the heart monitor
receiver watch.  The HM watch showed a steady 60 bpm when I had it in my
fanny pack with my regular watch...in the house -- and not anywhere near
the HR monitor itself.  Needless to say they got separated! ;-)  Are you
saying that it can go in reverse and affect your normal wristwatch...and
change how your watch keeps time?
