HRM pro with 10.43 shows extremely high heart rate

Recently my reported heart rate (with the hrm pro) is about twice the real

one.

just standing in place I get around 200 bpm.

it used to work fine and then just started showing wrong values.
Around when 10.43 came out but I don’t know if that’s related.

ever happened to anyone?

Try changing the battery

Did you change the HRM battery? If the seal is damaged, then sweat can enter the unit and cause crazy readings. If you change the battery, you should use dielectric silicone grease for the seal and add some more inside the unit.

I did. Is it reversible though?

The unit may be damaged - or not, hard to tell.

Open the unit, remove the battery, let it dry for a few days. Check the seal for damages - if damaged, then replace it. Use silicon grease for the seal. Then try if the problem is gone.
