How to erase Resting HR data?

Hi,

I am not wearing my Forerunner 55 day and night nor do I use constant HR measuring or Activity Tracking - all switched off. Whenever I do workouts I switch Wrist HR measuring and Activity Tracking on.

Now: All data is being collected during workouts, only Resting HR data is complete nonsense. Recently I found that Garmin Connect defined my Resting HR somewhere between 85 and 120 bpm. A bit off.

Is there a way to erase such nonsense data? Usually my Resting HR is somewhere around 42-50 bpm.

Thanks

Just wear the watch during rest or sleep. That's all what is needed to get the right Resting HR

thanks. that is exactly what I dont do. I dont wear watches during sleep. It just disturbs my sleep. I moreover dont need nor follow any of this activoty tracking.

But I need to habe the RHR data corrected. It messes with my HR zone which I need for training to be correct

If you need it correct, you have to allow the watch to measure the RHR correctly. If you do not wear it during the sleep, wear it during rest.

I understand that principle. Still my question was a different one: is it possible to erase RHR data from Garmin Connect?

No, you can only overwrite it with new more accurate recording

You can do what I do, which is to set my resting HR (for the purpose of zones) manually.

Yes, the HR Zones can be set up manually, but you will still need correctly detected RHR fot the proper Calories calculation, for Intensity Minutes, and for other metrics, so wearing it at least a few minutes a day while resting is really highly recommended anyway.
