Incorrect Max Heart Rate Reporting

I keep getting a new value for max heart rate on every ride; even though it's not correct (ie 186bpm vs 170bpm). In the Connect app it reports correctly. I am also using a Fenix 6 w/HRM heart strap (for redundancy).

Same issue!

I'm guessing nothing has changed with the Max Heart rate auto setting. I did my first ride with my new Edge 1040 and my MHR was bumped to 170, even though my max HR for the ride was only 141.

Come on Garmin, I'm seeing a lot of similarities between this forum and the FR955 forum...lots of bugs, with a long wait for a fix, if ever. We've all paid a lot of money for these high end devices. Help us out.

Just the opposite it’s a “must have” heart rate strap for accurate measurements unlike in contrast to watch. Other technology and so speed&accuracy. When you are active riding (not looking for birds or nature:)) the watch changes their position on the hand, fitting, incorrect in total.

Sorry, I should have included in my post, I always wear a strap. I use the Garmin HRM Pro.
