LOW HEART RATE

I deal with this situation by not having a low heart rate alarm and mine has been recorded on an ECG at 34 while taking part in a study at my local university into runners over 50 and the effects of high training on the symapthetic and parasympathetic nervous system. I have never seem my Garmin report lower than 30 so I am assuming this is a lower limit of what it reads.

It’s a feature. And in the description of the feature it mentions a caveat for people with a naturally low heart that you might have to turn it off.

Some people have naturally low HR. So do those who are in excellent physical condition.

Rather than worry about possible "imminent demise" you should ask your doctor if sub-40 HR is normal for you.

Also the HR sensors on smart watches of all makes are not medical devices. If your doctor thinks its advisable they can put you on an accurate HR monitor for a few days and nights to get proper readings.

Do you know your real resting HR? If its below 40 bpm you need to turn the alarm off. My RHR is 36-37 so i need to disable that alarm. Would be great if we could set an own RHR threshold. But thats not an option at the moment.

I tried to locate instructions to disable it with no success. Plenty of other stuff pops up including downloading Garmin Express and checking for updates etc then restartjng my watch. This solved one issue, my watch has not charged over 91% for several weeks but charged to 100% during the process.

Minimum low threshold HR is 40 bpm so you probably need to disable it.
