When i was running today on the tread. I pay attention to my heart rate on my ionic. After being all sweaty and running. I looked at my hr and it said 156 then it switched to 125 and stayed there for awhile. I' wondering if there' something wrong with my ionic? My ionic was on snug and as I understand. Being all sweaty shouldn' affect my heart rate

If you are too sweaty, yes,  it will affect the Ionics tracking of your heart rate. The optical HR tracker needs dry skin. Too much sweat and the readings are wrong. Some people have reported that wearing a sweat band on your arm just above the tracker helps.
