Garmin watch heart rate spikes. Happened to all the Garmin watches i owned.

Garmin watch heart rate spikes It suddenly spikes to high values of ~180 even though pace and elevation stays the same. Just a guess permalink [–] will-je-suis [S] 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago (0 children) Although I've been wearing and testing Garmin watches for a while, I didn't know that it can send an alert if your heart rate goes above or below a certain threshold while you're inactive. My resting heart rate (according to the watch) is at high 70s to low 80s. Refer to your owner's manual to determine if your watch is compatible with an HRM strap. Does anyone else have this when they run or other type of exercise? A slow rise of the heartrate initially and then a large jump to a higher rate? It’s not a one off, majority of runs it will happen If heart rate accuracy is critical, we suggest using a Garmin heart rate monitor strap for the most accurate performance. Think it happens because of reduced blood flow to the wrist and hand so the optical sensor failed. The rest of my run (except for a few uphill sections) is in the 140-150 range. Allow the watch to sit powered off for a few seconds, then you may power it back on by pressing and releasing the power button. At first I thought the HR Spike was real, when looking at the watch and noticing, but my perceived exertion level was the same as before the spike, I think I would have felt it if my HR was actually ~180.
