My heart rate - Aptonia CW700

Now I use regularly the Aptonia cw700 heart rate monitor on my trainings, and I find it a lot helpful. To the races I don't leave it with me, just to avoid some distraction or some problem that can occur with it and could cause me to loose some time. This is the only reason, because it is very comfortable.
With the use of the HRM, I found out that I use to run at a higher heart rate than the one I thought. On my regular runs, at the end of the day, I use to run between 40 and 50 minutes, sometimes 1 hour. The pace use to be some fast but far away of my maximum pace: I still can talk during the training. And the heart rate use to be always (in the second half) more than 80% and at the end sometimes reach the 90%. Before I have the HRM I thought that the pace was between 70% and 80%. But I fell fine with this heart rate.
