Hi is anyone else experienced problems with the heart rate. My max is way out. At the gym my max is & always has been max 130. Garmin reads same some days & now 161. ???
Yes. I have worn a HRM with my Garmin 510 while bicycling for years. Just recently started wearing an Apple Watch and notice the Garmin reports my HR 15-25 beats higher than the Apple Watch. I am unsure which device to believe.
@Tbobx601: 15-25 beats per minute is a large enough discrepancy, that surely taking your pulse manually (as the authoritative source) while your heart rate is stable would allow you to decide which device is more accurate, even should it turn out that neither of them are correct?
Iris you don't say what device you are using to measure heart rate and how you measured it before. 130 seems quite a low maximum but obviously that depends on the activities you are performing and your own body's natural HR range
