GENERAL TEST Forerunner 945

I've noticed just after 1week usin' 945 that there're some probs to solve regardin' in 1st HR wrist, 'cause in a cardio session and sitting on a bench the device shows me 183bpm range and tha other great prob is the Physio TrueUp used to tranfer some data from pervious deveices...doesn't work properly...I've been cancel all datas and start from zero with the new device to have some lost data….

Ths test starts now...

  • I'll continue with my tests...Edge isn't a Forerunner...theonly one prob is Garmin got to test deeply a device before put it on the market!!!!

  • 6th test...I've tried to reset device ..allo ok with biometric data but after connect with Garmin Express the device don't calculate stress status ext...so I think the prb is a sw one regardin' basic infos trought express….

    SOMEONE in GARMIN can SOLVE THIS PROB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If you're having all these problems and you're using your watch correctly, you obviously have a bad watch.  Why don't you exchange it, or contact Garmin Support? No one else is posting "mine is doing the same thing", and Garmin can't "fix" any problems you're having based on your forum post. 

  • did U read other post regardin' 945...probably not 'cause the big probs of others is regardin' HR sw menage and other small ones...after...I'm a tester and I can't remain 15 days without a tracker....often the all these probs aren't hw but sw...so Garmin must test a device before put it on the market....600eur device!!!!!

    Yes, I've read post with people having issues with HR. I've read post about sticky buttons. I've read post about some having issues with respiration rates. You're the first and only that has had an issue with nearly everything.  I'm trying to give you some helpful advice when I say exchange your watch or contact support.  You can use that advice if you wish, or you can continue as the self appointed 945 tester and continue to post your results here. 

  • 7th test...used Physio TruUp to have an activity history to use to calcule progress but the device don't calculate and doesn't shows th last activity dates….the result is no traning zone and Detranin' status

  • 8th test...strength traini'...same high bpms (about 30+) of a cardio wo, no calories recorded….

    I've conducted your test either recently or in the past.  Let me post my findings using your test.

    • Test 1  After a run:  Calories, performance conditioning, respiration rate and heart rate all OK using a chest strap.  Fully aware of oHRM limitations, so no need to bother testing w/ oHRM.
    • Test 2  Physio TrueUp and Express working OK.
    • Test 3  Cardio:  With chest strap, fine.  Again, w/o a strap, see above.
    • Test 4  Cycling.  All sensors connected.  Calories, HR and everything else OK w/ strap.  W/O strap, see above if you missed it the first two times.
    • Test 5  Run.  All buttons functioning.  Performance conditioning after 6 mins and updated throughout the run.
    • Test 6   Didn't need to reset watch.  Biometrics OK.
    • Test 7  PhysioTrueUp still working.  Training status correct.
    • Test 8  Strength Training:  HR fine w/ strap and calories counted.  W/O strap, ...........

    Waiting  to compare test 9. 

  • Todd, probably U're no so super partes....read more than 30 post over this forum

    I don't know what you're trying to say in your last post. You posted your findings, I posted mine. Surely you don't have an issue with that?
