Wrong HRM data Hiking and Cross-country skiing

I have wrong, very low HR data from my Fenix6 with hiking or doing cross-country skiing. Hiking is without poles and cross-country is ofcourse with poles.

Have tried to update the watch, clean, change wearing positions, tighen/loosen it but I get much of my workouts around 110bmp while the actual figure is way higher.

How do I fix this?

let me think. 110 looks familiar ...

Ah, it comes back to me. There were a couple of threads on HR. The number 110 seems to occur frequently. An example ?

Bring some time. It takes a while to study everything.

Does anyone know what the difference is between Hiking and Walking activities? If there is none maybe one should use Walking instead? Or copy it and rename it to Hiking2...

Hello. This is old issue. I have same problem during hiking with ohr after sw 3.0, garmin never solve this problem on some watches. I use chest strap.

8 have similar problems ....when I'm walking.....if I connect a specific activity seems as works correctly.

But for example when I walking doenst works, one day in 21km the watch marks as 120 calories only for 3xample...

I try to reset many times....but still doesn't work.....

Maybe garmin release new update ???

I'll try to record my activities as running activities instead of hiking. Perhaps that solves it.

Walking records everything as one would expect, for me, on the latest firmware. It has never done otherwise in one year of ownership. Raise a ticket with Garmin of your watch is misbehaving.

This was recorded yesterday.
