Abnormal Heart Rate Issues.

So last night around 3:30 am EST time, my wife was feeding our new born and then my watch alarm starts sounding, my wife is like "what is that?". I looked at my watch and it said my heart rate was 129... this caused panic and I immediately grabbed my iPhone and opened the stopwatch and time my heart rate.. I counted 12 beat for 15 seconds so this means my pulse was actually 48 beats, but the watch still showed 129 and was going up. Now I'm really starting to panic and I counted my pulse over and over ( about 4 times ) and each time I consistently got around 46-48 beats a minute except for once I got 69 because of me starting to panic. When I woke up this morning, my resting heart rate was normal 42. I also have notice that the watch has been giving me credit for activities when I'm not really active at the time. I didn't have either one of these issues a couple firmwares ago.    

Does anyone else find that Garmin's abnormal heart rate notification worthless? I've really been trying to be satisfied with the 945, but it seems like with every update they fix one thing and break 9 others. 

Does anyone here use Polar? I was thinking of getting rid of the 945 and getting the Grid X.    

Thanks for any feedback. 

  • +1.  This has been happening for the last 4 or 5 months as well not sure the exact date I do have the abnormal heart rate set as well for me I just went ahead and took it off clean the back of the sensor with my thumb put it back on and went from 1:36 to 75 inside of about a minute which is what it took for the device to resync this apparently is some kind of software issue or perhaps it's just a sensor getting dirty but I've had this happen before without cleaning the sensor
