HRM PRO +

Hi,

I bought my strap in May 23. It measured my GCTB as close to 50:50 on most runs. A bit more left on slower runs. Last December, it went heavily left (54-5%). I thought that was due to a minor injury.

My partner has a spare Garmin RD pod. That has my balance spot on 50:50 with small changes at slower pace. Every run I've done with it is better than the strap.

I have asked Garmin over a week ago if there is something wrong with it, but so far have no response.

The strap has SW 8.8, and appears to work. Has anybody seen anything similar?

Thanks

Just FYI, that seems to be related to a specific hardware version of the strap.
My (now deprecated) HRM Pro had firmware 8.8(0) and so does my replacement HRM Pro Plus…

My (now deprecated) HRM Pro had firmware 8.8(0) and so does my replacement HRM Pro Plus. Both received no update, also not by forcing it via Garmin Connect App, even though 8.9(0) seems to be available for some other users.

I have not had something like this. Always have a little variety, depending on track and running speed (faster is more even balanced than slower), but always somewhere between 50:50 and 49:51.

Maybe on your straps, the accelerometer has a defect.

Perhaps a little academic now as it seems to have expired. The watch no longer sees it even with a new battery, neither will it pair after l removed it from the watch. It's still in warranty though. I've made the claim today.

I have also the RD Pod and the HRM Pro +.

The RD Pod delivers the correct balance results.
