BUG - Not possible to set more than 100% of LTHR in heart rate zones

I'm trying to set up my heart rate zones basing on %LTHR. Firstly, I switched from %MHR to %LTHR measuring method in Garmin Connect Web, filled the percentage of my zones and synced my device with Garmin Express. But the changes weren't applied on the device - I saw just out-of-the-box settings and values in the device "My Stats" menu, there were no changes which I made in GC. "No problem" - I thought, and tried to configure heart rate zones directly on the device. I wanted to set Zone 5 as 105% - 107%, but Garmin refused to accept values bigger than 100% and autocorrected 105% to 100% (see the picture).

Please, fix this incorrect behavior. Thank you.

There is exactly the same problem on the edge 530 (cf. https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/cycling/f/edge-530/224913/feature-request-correction-to-heart-rate-zones-based-on-lthr). It should be a pretty straightforward firmware fix and it is strange that Garmin has not fixed this.

Agreed you must be able to put more than 100% of LTHR. I regularly ride at 200% and that's on easy rides ! Just kidding.

There are actually three places you can do this. 1) The Edge device 2) Garmin Connect Mobile app on the phone, and 3) Garmin Connect website. I think you tried 2 of them. Maybe you will be lucky with the 3rd one !
