Sounds like you're new to oHR ? As mentioned above (and about everywhere :rolleyes:) oHR can only really be used reliably when you're static and for easy runs when it's not cold...

I find my Scosche Rythm+ to be pretty accurate and it's been well reviewed (it's optical). But that's worn on my forearm while I run or bike, not the wrist.
I also noticed the HRV setting in the watch and I was wondering if it is intended to only work with the chest strap. It seems the concensus that that HRV can't be measured with optical devices.
EDIT: LOL, I typed the CATCHPA into the title field by mistake and now I can't edit it!
I used a garmin HRM strap with the AHR-datafield. By this, both tracks (OHR and belt-HR as the auxiliary heartate (iq datafield)) are recorded and are nearly spot on all the time. For regular use very sufficient. For track workouts you may rely on a strap but for daily training runs its very useful...
Better as my experience with my F3H3. Im getting more and more happy with my F5! :o
Yep, looks pretty good but it was pretty warm and that always works better for oHR. My FR235 was really good today too on a long MPace session (98% score using Valencell's method) but NOT my F5 on the other wrist that was completely off (between+20 and +30) and messed up the "Performance Condition" calculation. That's the thing with oHR, one day they're good and the next they're bad so it's hard to rely on them.

I wish I had that... take a look at my run, only HR from wrist but only looking at the graph you can see it is very strange. And the temperature was 9 degrees... https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1635350042
How tight or loose are you wearing the watch belt when you run?
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.
