Since updating the Firmware, my Versa 2 has not been accurately monitoring my heart rate during exercise.  I've been wearing it the same way for years and did not have any problems before.  I complained via chat and they sent me articles on wearing it properly which showed that was wearing it too close to my wrist bone.  I moved it 2 finger widths from the bone and it is monitoring accurately now.

Hey there @JohnatSML! Thanks for sharing the little tip that has helped you to get a more accurate heart rate reading on your Versa 2. ‌‌ I'm sure this will be a useful information to others in the same situation. 🙂

 

I would like to invite you to visit our Health & Wellness where you will find great tips and encouragement from other members and if there's anything else I can do for you, please keep me posted.

 

Have a nice day.

Two finger widths from the wrist bone = wearing it on my forearm. 

No thank you, especially when I’ve worn it in the same place I’ve always worn it for five years and had zero issues.
