Picking up other users heart rate ???

Hi,

I have Forerunner 235 and love the watch but the watch is picking up other users heart rate near me, I tried wearing a heart rate band and synching it to my watch and although it works initially after a while it still picks up others users heart rate, its becoming really annoying anyone else come across this ?
Thanks

I had that happening with my 230.
It was picking up my wife's HR and I noticed that even though it was already paired with mine, when I was close to her, the watch managed to pair with her HR as well.
Check your sensors and see if you have multiple HR paired.
Delete all of them and pair with yours only and whenever you are with your group, try not to face the watch close to others HR.

Hope it helps.

Instead of deleting, especially one you'll likely be coming across again, maybe try turning the status of that sensor off, so it'll know NOT to pick it up.
