Incorrect heart rate

Now and than, an activity is recorded with an obvious erroneus heart rate. How can I remove this bad data from my history?

This is not the first time I ask, but it has been a while since last time I asked. I think that by now Garmin engineers have had time to bring up and implement a solution for this.

Importing a run without HR will not impact the daily HR data

Heart rate and steps data is not user-modifiabe intentionally by design, because of contractual reasons. Garmin is bound by contracts with insurance agencies who increasingly use fitness devices for evaluating health benefits of their customers, and they do not wish that the data can be modified by the end user.

Are you sure about this or just guessing?

I am sure

Well, than there must something wrong with the design, as I can easily export my run, delete it, and import it without heart rate data.

So it would be easier to have a function that just let me tell garmin that the data is not reliable.

Thanks

The only thing I care about is that my training stats are reliable, so my request is still to have a good solution to correct corrupt heart rate readings from my device.

If daily heart-rate data is not impacted, that's okay with me, though it would be a good thing if users can mark parts of the heart rate data as unreliable, as we users know when the device is wrong!
