Hi,
it's no secret that Garmins algorithm for calculating RHR ist totally off and no one really gets it. But what really annoys me, and I have seen this with the F645 too, is that when I go into Garmin Connect (iOS) and want to look for the HR data of the last days or weeks it almost NEVER shows me the lowest to highest heartrate. Looking through the charts I find awake HR like 45 and Garmin Connect shows all-day data 56-160 instead of 45-160. WTF?
I get that they have a really, really bad algorithm for calculating RHR, it's been like that for years even though no one understands why they don't do anything about it. But me having almost always way lower heartrate awake shown on a chart and Garmin telling me in their stats that my heartrate for the day was like f.e. 55-160 instead of 45-160, this is what I don't get. I mean the number is there, but it doesn't show in their general allday heartrate range in Garmin connect app. And this is with 945 AND 645.
Really really annoying. Anyone else experiencing that problem?
The HR data is the only thing I really hate about Garmin. Not the data itself, that it collects, but how it's shown with that many bugs ... It's why I never could leave for just one watch, a Garmin.
And I'm not even talking about RHR here which many companies get wrong, esp. Garmin and Fitbit. Only Apple gets RHR quite right.
