HR bug while running

[TheFatPanther]

I've run (pun not intended) into a bug with the Blaze while running. Or, more specifically, when going from a run to a walk. The HR function works fine as I'm running along, but if I suddenly stop and walk, checking the HR there's.. nothing. It shows blanks. The contact to my arm is identical, nothing else has changed. And if I pick the pace back up, 5 seconds later the HR is back.

I'm not sure exactly what's going on. I was tracking with phone GPS on. HR prior to walking was around 150 (I started walking to drop it down to 130ish). This is actually very important, as the primary reason for the Blaze for me is to do HR based run/walk until my fitness gets up.

I would make sure it is pushed up your arm two finger breadths.  I have noticed this same thing when I stop and pushing it up seems to help.

Yeah, that was my first thought, that it had moved towards my wrist and "broken contact". But moving it (like the goggles) did nothing. I had to actually start running again. I'm wondering if my BP dropped enough when going from a run to a walk that the sensor just lost my pulse... Oddly, my Mio Fuse never had that issue.

It shouldn't really lose the pulse - it is measuring the volume of tissue under the watch. That volume expands with each heart beat. If you have tried a reboot, then I am out of ideas. Hopefully somebody else has a thought!  Good luck!!
