I just bought myself the Venu 2. I notice that the HR is way off in activities. So I thought of pairing my Polar HR chest strap to the Venu 2. I dove into the menu and managed to pair them. When I look at the HR on my watch I see that it increases when I climb the stairs for example (e.g. to 95). But after a few seconds the HR drops from 95 to 65 instantly, while I'm still climbing. If I go back into settings and select Sensors, the watch tells me that a connection is made with the strap (again?). The watchface displays the accurate HR, only to drop back to 65 in a few seconds. So something tells me the connection gets lost after a few seconds. Disabling the wrist HR sensor on the watch didn't produce any different outcome.
Any ideas?
