In the last week my herat rate monitor is not reading my heart rate properly. I have cleaned the back of it, rebooted it, shut it down and turned it back on. This has been happeneing for the past week since it has gotten colder. Sometimes it reads my heart rate is 50 BPM. What do I do.

A warm welcome to the Community @AnuDean, thanks for troubleshooting this by yourself.

 

If your heart rate reading is not being accurate, I recommend taking a look at this post. There you will see some things that might be affecting this reading and some tips to improve it. Also, here our friend @FerdinandFitbit is providing some other tips to have a better HR reading.

 

Let me know the outcome. Woman Happy

I have done all of the suggestions a few times. And same results. It was working fine two weeks ago and picking things up properly. Even after a hiit workout it drops back down to almost a resting heart rate. Daily it says that through out the day my heart rate barley goes above 80-85 and that's while walking 15-20 min to and from work, going up and down stairs. Where are two weeks ago I was doing all the same activites with watch in same position on my wrist and it was picking up proper heart rate.
