I'm getting readings as high as 185 which is outlandish as I'm 76 and when I do land based activities I get up to 135 max.
Try Making the Strap Tighter, Maybe Water is getting in between the sensor and the Skin.
Thanks, but make it tight such that I have indents on my skin from the strap. I usually wear it at that tension when I'm doing any activity, and it quite accurate vs. a Polar H10 for comparison.
