I used to wear AW until I got the Garmin Forerunner. One annoying thing about the new 965 is that the HR monitor is getting inaccurate for faster paces. When I have my recovery runs with HR below 150, the watch works perfectly fine. Once my HR goes over 165, it's a wild guess. I fee like I need to stop running and let the Forerunner"catches" up with its accuracy then it is working OK again. Happens in every intensive run.
- invalidptr 2y agoThis is unfortunately very common for OHRMs. Once your heartbeat approaches your running cadence (~180 bpm), physical movement becomes confused with the color change of your blood that an OHRM relies on. Tightening your wrist strap can help, but if you want accurate heart rate data for workouts, a chest strap is the way to go. Garmin makes a very good and very inexpensive one.
