Disregarding cadence lock?

Not 935 specific but I'm posting this here because I think I'll get more attention with the higher percentage of users who do more "serious" training than other threads.

What do you folks think about having the ability to tell Connect to disregard the HR from a run or ride where HR results are seriously off due to cadence lock?

Today the temperature got up to a balmy 40f where I live so I went for a run in short sleeves and shorts, but unfortunately that was still cool enough to affect the optical HRM on my 735 and I ended up with an average HR of 184 when it was probably closer to 140 which resulted in a drop in Vo2Max of 2 points and left me with an extreme suffer fest Suffer Score when it uploaded to Strava.

I know that a single result can cycle out pretty quickly when only looking at Vo2Max but I wonder how it'll affect the Traing Satus/Performance stats that look more at the long term effect of individual runs. I don't normally look at HR that much during a run so I don't notice that I've got a run away HR until afterward so it would be nice it I could tell GC to ignore the HR for a run like that even if it is post fact.

Is it worth putting in feature request or will even the new stats see an easy run pace with a high HR get lost in the noise?

Today was 40C + here and my heart rate with a strap was through the roof due to the heat.

You can always suggest the idea here: https://www8.garmin.com/contactUs/ideas/
It's a reasonable request. Long ago in Suunto Training Manager and Polar Precision Trainer software you could edit erratic HR and have all training stats recalculated.

As a workaround you could delay the automatic upload; after run, do Resume Later instead of Save, disable phone connection and Wifi, then save activity, check the act. summary on the watch, enable phone conn. if it is OK. If not ok, retrieve activity via USB, run it through a FIT file repair tool (I assume you can remove HR with these tools) and manually upload it.

Nothing. Discard the recorded activity and add it manually in GC if needed

cadence lock?

¿que? On a 935? If you believe that OHR readings are an issue for you, use an HRM.

Even if you don't look at HR (as I neither do), the whole 935 concept doesn't make sense without.
Cadence lock, hillarious .... hey trainer really I can't today, you know, I got a cadence lock on my watch :p

Field stripper in https://www.fitfiletools.com might help.

It is annoying when this happens. I usually wear a HR strap to minimise the issue.
Years ago Polar had a really good HR editor. Best part of 20 years on, I either hope it is all fine or have dodgy data.

Half the problem these days is that once it hits GC also goes to Strava or whatever you have linked to. Strava have nothing either.

If you think it's an issue, then put in a feature request. You don't need anyone's permission or support
