Incorrect heart rate readings

Watch is reporting astronomically high heart rate measurements after a certain amount of time exercising. Yes I am wearing it correctly, yes I am confident these readings are not correct. This has only started in the last few months. I see others complaining about the same thing. Please fix this Garmin, it is making me regret buying this watch.

Classic example this morning from a zone 2 run:

I was running same pace on a treadmill, but heart rate shoots up to near max and gets stuck there. It's making the watch useless for many of my runs.

  • It's been an ongoing problem with this watch. You need to wear your watch at the proper location or wear a HR strap. (At least that is what Garmin offered when i called to ask about this problem)

    They're aware. It's making many of the training metrics useless for running!!! so frustrating.
