I walk around 11 to 13 miles a day unless I mow the yard and then its 15. I walk an average 22 minute mile. Pretty much just a pacing. Nothing to get excited over. When I check my fitbit, it's registering my heartrate at 105 or more, not much right? (Unless I'm mowing). Since it didn't feel like an elevated heartrate, I borrowed a pulse oximeter because I didn't trust my manual reads. After stopping, I compared the two. Since I was stopped, my watch would drop down to 100 but the oximeter would register 75. Checked the other hand and that registered 78. I expect a little difference but not that much. Only noticing during my walks; I don't check any other time.
I've cleaned both the watch and my skin. I wear my watch two fingers up my arm since the last Versa would read higher when on my wrist. I have restarted numerous times. I know what a panic attack feels like and I am not having any while I walk. I do have a left bundle branch block but that causes bradycardia (slow heart rate). This happened before and after the recent update.
In a funny way, after I catch it at a higher rate, it behaves and drops back down to 75 through 80. Like it's trying to push active zone minutes. Just weird.
Any other tips or is this something I just have to live with?
EDIT could this be a problem with the watch trying to read a left bundle branch block? All the chambers of the heart except for the lower left pump as normal. The left gets a little silly and is delayed. Could that make issues with the algorithms?
