Bowman 🇸🇪 Mar 2023 6:23pm, 25 Mar 2023 2,480 posts	Bowman 🇸🇪 Anyone out there using a newer Garmin maybe fenix 7 and an HRM strap of some sort? I’m having issues since a while, it “records” hr fine, but with very poor accuracy. I’ve seen that it also misses breathing when hr stops being useful. I don’t care about breathing stats, but it shows in some way that something is going on. I use a fenix 7 x SS, HRM pro plus, battery ok, it’s clean, and I even use ECG-gel. So anyone looking at their HR who have some issues too? Here’s some more in the Garmin forum. Last few pages. forums.garmin.com

Bowman 🇸🇪 Mar 2023 7:51pm, 25 Mar 2023 2,483 posts	Bowman 🇸🇪 I found it
Badger Mar 2023 9:07pm, 25 Mar 2023 16,186 posts	Badger For anyone else wondering: in the phone app, tap on a graph and it opens full screen, then tap on one of the buttons at the bottom to do the overlay. Shame it'll only overlay one at a time. Yes I looked, never seen anything like that.
Bowman 🇸🇪 Mar 2023 7:44am, 26 Mar 2023 2,484 posts	Bowman 🇸🇪 Yes it’s strange, maybe the HRM pro broken, but a few others see the same, and I guess a lot of people not looking at the data, or logging on on GC web, and in the app it looks fine it fills in the graph . Only on the web to see the inconsistencies in data on breathing. Someone see the thing happening with different HRM straps, so maybe it’s not the HRM strap. But maybe I’ll try to get it exchanged anyway to rule that out.
Badger Mar 2023 10:09am, 26 Mar 2023 16,187 posts	Badger Do you have hrv tracking turned on? The Garmin straps send current HR four times a second so it's puzzling how the watch might be messing that up. It might also be recalculating it on the fly from the RR intervals and maybe there's a data issue there. Just speculating at this point.
Badger Mar 2023 10:15am, 26 Mar 2023 16,188 posts	Badger Double checked and my respiration looks normal on the web too.
Bowman 🇸🇪 Mar 2023 10:21am, 26 Mar 2023 2,486 posts	Bowman 🇸🇪 Badger Yes i have, but it's no change from before. Will run without my phone and headphones today to see if thats do anything. It will be boring as hell..
