Pardon the double posting, but hoping to get a broader response:
How does the new fenix 5 wrist heart rate sensor compare with the fenix 3hr? Improved performance or the same?
You need it tight, really tight to get a good reading. And it needs to be slightly higher on your wrist. It should be leaving a mark on your skin, at least that's how I have to wear it for it to work properly. Maybe the F5 is better but on the 735 this is what I do.
