Has anyone else experienced discrepancies in HR. If I use the apps to record a workout, my heart rates tend to be extremely high, like eg 212, yes I’m puffed out, breathless, but this recording is usually much higher than if I just check the heart rate recordings for the day.  They are never as high.

@AnnieMarcon I hope you're doing well! Thanks for reporting this situation regarding the heart rate and calories burned. Are you still experiencing the same? 

 

In what specific activities are you experiencing this?

 

I'd recommend checking this helpful article about heart rate to get some tips for it to be more accurate. Feel free to check the wrist placement tips specifically.

 

Also, please perform a restart on your watch. This has helped in the past.

 

Keep me posted! Smiley Happy
