Wrist HR awful

bigdwazda 3 days ago

I have been having issues with wrist hr. It used to work great until a few months ago.

Right now it's hopeless. Be it if I train outdoors or on the treadmill.

Is there a wider issue or is it potentially just mine.

Been working fine for me, but I did have a brief problem one that went away after I restarted the watch. Have you tried a restart?

I have not. I don't think it's been restarted for ages. Thanks. Will see how it goes.

You are not the only one.

Garmin keeps closing the threads and ignoring the issue.

Must be my wrist, on the 935, Fenix 7 and 965 its never accurate, except when I'm swimming its pretty close. I wear the HR Pro when running

All my watches have been ok. Good enough for all but intervals.

The 965 was also good until a few months ago. I also normally wear a chest strap but on this occasion I forgot it.

It's a bit of a pain that the whr is so wonky.

Who would have thought it. Restarted and it worked great.

It did update yesterday as well so maybe that helped.

Garvin says restart once a week so will try that going forward.
