Hello, after updating at 11.00 I have a problem with HRM. It does not show me the right heart rate. I reset the watch, but I still have the same problem. Does this happen to someone and how to solve the problem
t could help, but I'm not sure. I have a same problem like this Hi,
I have a big issue with Optical HR. I found that it is not updating itself every second when running. It’s like there is an important delay between the reality and the HR update.
For example :
I was running, It was at 150. Ok, why not. I stopped : It was at 165 : not logical I waiting some minutes, I was at 120 Ok. I start running, it was below 100 not logical.
It’s like the HR was taking a very important time to update itself and yes, the watch was very tight on my wrist.
And I am nost speaking about sprinting. I was about 11 or 12km/h. When I am sprinting, the OHR is not usable andmore, it is dangerous since it is indicating that I am at 130 or 140 (While I am about 180 in relality)
Any advice about this or do you know if a fix will be provided ?
HR (even measured perfectly), is a lagging indicator of effort.
OHR (regardless of brand) is known to be less responsive than a chest strap, but generally acceptable for steady state exercise, or gradually changes in intensity, where it can track as heart rate changes. Where HR changes rapid (eg. short duration sprint intervals), then most OHR will struggle to keep up. If you are using HR to guide intensity for short duration interval training, then you are better off with a chest strap.
Sports where you move your arms a lot - will have unreliable Optical HR readings on Fenix. For me it is unusable for running and rowing but reasonable for indoor bike use.
That's right. I tried with a rubber bracelet yesterday and the results are much better than with a metal bracelet. In any case, I am waiting for a new version of the software that I hope to change this.
