Garmin seems to "forget" personal records

Have been using the Garmin Forerunner 945 for some months now and overall very happy with it. There is just one thing that bothers me and that is Personal Records.

About two months ago I ran a 3.53 kilometre in a 10k race. The watch correctly stated that this was now the fastest K I had run with it. A new personal record, yay. However, two weeks later, after another run, I got the message that I again had run my fastest K (and mile), at 4.22 this time. Today again, now my fastest K is 4.31 and again I had a (slower) faster mile. Basically the watch seems to forget old data.

Is there some setting in the watch I should change?

Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Under Profile in Garmin Connect, my personal records for the 5 and 10 K are stated and they ARE correct, which makes it even more strange for me.

Thanks in advance, have a nice Sunday :-)

Edit: after further examination I can see that the 5k and 10k records on the watch are also legit. So basically the watch only forgets the 1k and 1 mile records

What firmware do you have?

It was the same for me, but with fw 2.72beta It seems that the watch doesn't give me wrong km and Mile records any more

Cheers, still using 2.70 atm, good to know that the issue is probably resolved in 2.72

If I remember well, even with 2.70 I hadn't any more problems. Maybe it's a random thing, if it happens again to me I will report.

Mine does the same since upgrading to 2.70.

Me too - I went for a slowish jog the other day and it gave me a record 1km! Also on 2.70.

On GCM Web interface you have to keep or decline a new record. Very handy if like me you ran on a moving boat and got all sorts of crazy speed records!!

i still have the same issue on 2.72 - after each run i have a new record (and no, it's not really a new one ;) )

Had this problem only with my fastest mile. Almost every run I had achieved a new record for the mile. No idea why. But since a few weeks no new record.

Same problem here on Forerunner 645 Music. I have 6.40 firmware.
