I have been working out with the HRM pro (yellow) for a while now. Batteries are good and strap is still in really good shape, its only 5 months used. I've been using Garmin's HRM straps for many years now, from swim, tri, pro, and standard HRM units. I've never had an issue with cold weather operation until this latest HRM pro strap. This is my second pro strap as my first got worn down. The HRM works fine indoors or with warmer weather. It is now around freezing in the early morning for my runs and the HR data is erratic and very high. To avoid static I always put on lotion so my shirt isn't staticy with dry weather and I make sure to wet the leads before starting workout. The HR data is a good 30-40 beats high. For example, this morning on an easy run my HR was about 125, but HR strap was readying in the 150's. Sometimes, once I begin sweating, the HR will kick back to normal and the HR data will immediately drop and settle in, but sometimes it doesn't. Today was an easy run and never really got a good sweat going. I had to stop my run and switch to watch HR sensor for the rest of the run.
Curious if anyone else is having this issue?
