Forerunner 235 No Heart Rate

I upgraded to version 4.60 and since then the green light sensor of heart not turn on. I have done everything possible, get the update manually , download WebUpdater , update from your computer . I did not get a result . What I do? What I take to repair ? You will be broken ?
  • I'd suggest you try:
    • Manually disabling the Heart Rate Monitor in the watch's settings;
    • Perform a hard reset on the watch; and then
    • Re-enable the Heart Rate Monitor in the settings.

    We have been monitoring the reports of the WHR version reverting to 0.00 that have been discussed in this forum. We have escalated this issue to the device teams for further investigation to determine the root cause. In the meantime users have found a workaround to this issue, that has worked for other users (https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?351968-Forerunner-235-No-Heart-Rate]).

    That fixed it

    Thanks for posting the solution. After the hard reset, it is working now.
  • Observed this issue

    Observed this issue starting Saturday (12/17/16) evening. Confirmed I have the latest firmware version (7.1) and the WHR version was reporting 0.00. I first noticed that my heart rate values had stopped recording at some point within the 4 hour window that is displayed on the watch, there were some values displayed but the last 1/4 to 1/3 was empty.

    The workaround mentioned previously in this thread did resolve the issue.
  • Reseting the HRM

    I'd suggest you try:
    • Manually disabling the Heart Rate Monitor in the watch's settings;
    • Perform a hard reset on the watch; and then
    • Re-enable the Heart Rate Monitor in the settings.


    The instructions say Menu > Settings > Heart Rate Monitor > Off
    However I do not have a "Heart Rate Monitor" Option under my settings in the app. Is this done else where?

    The Forerunner 230/235 Owner's Manual tells you what to do on the device itself. :rolleyes:
  • Still happening in 2018, thanks ASmugDill, your fix worked perfectly.
