Hi, just bought 255 as an upgrade from 245 and it looks fantastic! But... on 235 and 245 I was able to set HR zones completely arbitrarily and choose numbers in a very nice manner, through the garmin connect website. I'd go to Device Settings, choose the method of HR Zones calculations, Max HR or LCTH or another one, and then slightly tinker with them.
For example, no matter what Garmin and calculations may suggest, I am 100% certain that my Zone 2 upper HR level is higher, because I can absolutely freely go to HR 143-144-145 say, and either talk during running without any hinderance, or breathe just through the nose, which is my rough personal guide for how far my easy running goes, and anything above should be Zone 3.
But I spent 30 minutes last night going through the website and not finding these settings, and now I read that all of these are automatic, and set by the watch. And even that if you manage to change them slightly, that they revert to original settings due to a fault with the firmware?
My watch just updated last night to FW 12.23. Is this still an issue with this build? Is there any way that I can set the watch so that I can enter my own values for the HR zones?
Cheers
