Hello together,
I just got my Fenix 5 Plus about a week ago. Since the first day I noticed that the OHRM had once or twice a day drop outs in the heart rate for about 5 to 15 minutes.
The odd thing is that the OHRM is working, when I go to the widget it gives me a reasonable heart rate, it just don't log it. I tried to figure out what triggers this bug but I couldn't find clear relations. Some drop outs seem to appear just random, others seem to be triggered by water (when I sweat a lot or wash my hands). What makes it even harder to tell what causes this is that even when the graph on the watch shows a drop out the heart rate might show up in Garmin connect anyhow.
The only clear relation I could find was my HRM-Run. Once I put this on, the OHRM stops logging. Yesterday, while watching the livestream of the Ironman in Frankfurt I was getting ready for my run and put everything on including my HRM-Run. Since I wanted to know who get first I stayed at home watching for about an hour and than went for my run. this was the result. It did not log any heart rate data though I had the watch and HRM-Run on. Once I started the activity everything was perfect again. I just saw that I got another random drop out yesterday evening, at this point in time I was sitting on the couch watching TV.
Does anyone have similar problems?
Best regards
