problem with active calories // HR

Former Member over 9 years ago

Hi, Im new here, just got my wtch 2 days ago. so far i like the forerunner 235.

But I just noticed a few things and maybe someone can help me with them.

♦ The active calories seem to be kinda off, half a day sitting before a PC, kinda seems to burn 3000 calories, and running 2km just burns 100 ?? the 100 for running i find ok, but the 3000 seem kinda crazy.

♦The Hr sensor works fine most of the time, but seems to change its reading depending if im on the HR site or the Watch. Like during running, when i have the HR site open, it looks ok, but whenever i switch to watch/pace , it seems to kinda drop like 30 beats, overall the HR reading does not seem to be that stable.

Hope someoen can help me with, or is this a common problem ?

A nice set of dice will set you back about 5 bucks on Amazon. They will be equally as accurate as your 235 as far as calories or HR are concerned.

Ya, I will give the support one more week come up with a fix, or else its going back. no way im keeping it with that much randomness,
also the garmin support seems to be kinda bad, no activity on the forums neither the english or the german one...

really for 300€ , thats more than my Smartphone was, i was expecting a better support, and actually a working device.
