In exercise mode the heart rate keeps climbing higher and higher, sometimes reaching 155 bpm. The exercise machine I am on also takes a heart rate reading and it will show 85 bpm. If I take my pulse manually it will also be in that same range. It doesn't seem to matter which exercise mode I am in - weights, spinning, etc - all exercise modes are doing this. Even if I stop exercising, the heart rate will keep climbing... but my actual heart rate is dropping. The screen on the watch will change to a dash, reset the heart rate and it might drop from 148 to 71 after it comes back on. While I am exercising the only way I have been able to stop the heart rate climb is to remove the watch from my arm, wait a minute, then put it back on... then it might behave itself for a while. I have done a reset on the watch as suggested, yet the heart rate still keeps climbing way above what my actual heart rate it. What is the fix for this? This is a charge 5.
