Forerunner 35 Heart Rate and Calorie Burn Accuracy

Former Member over 4 years ago

Hello,

I bought my wife a Forerunner 35 and the Heart Rate and Calorie values are not calculated accurately. Is there way to adjust the settings to allow a more accurate values for these attributes?

Thanks!

No. All you can do is to try to adjust the position of the watch on the wrist to improve HR reading, but that's rather a long shot.

Try to wear the watch further up the arm at least 1 inch up from the wrist bones and a little tight for best accuracy.
