1 day - 552 intensity minutes
Is it difficult to achieve this ? No !
Because you earn intensity minutes, although the prerequisites for this are not met:
So all over again :
Garmin's instructions say that intensity minutes are most accurately recorded when you start an activity.
Okay, so I did.
Since I walk a lot during the day, I started the "walking" activity when I got up in the morning because I wanted to record the most accurate intensity minutes possible.
From the time I got up to the time I went to bed, a good 18 hours passed.
Here is the result:
552

Can this be true at all from a mathematical point of view ? NO !
Here the data :
My maximum HR is 196.
In Connect, I have "Use heart rate zones" enabled.
For "moderate" I have set zone 4 (so 80-89% HRmax = 157 - 174 ).
For "vigorous" I set zone 5 (so 90-100% HRmax = 175 - 196).
Thus, if I have calculated correctly, intensity minutes should not be earned at all until a HR of 157.
Ok, here is the heart rate graph:

Here again via screenshots my settings for intensity minutes in Connect :

Summary :
During my 18 hour recording, I spent just 4 seconds in zone 4 and 0 seconds in zone 5.
HOW can it be then, just mathematically, that I have earned 552 minutes of intensity ?

Funny that my tactix 7 pro didn't capture nearly as much intensity minutes. And that, although Zone 2 and 3 is set there.
I can assure that this is not a problem of a particular firmware or sensor hub. The problem exists with all FW versions I have tested so far. Also in the current one. Both, master reset and soft reset do not change anything.
This is a topic for the development department. Not for the support.
Because what should the support do if the watch does not respect the rules of mathematics ?
