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.

Hmm no. Last interval session I did was four weeks ago today, using an HRM PRO.

And that's a 7xSS.

This was today using a Polar H10

Drops are where I paused for traffic lights, all look sensible, and the breathing rate is sensible too.

Ok, thanks badger, have you taken a look at the last few post in the Garmin forum thread where I posted a few examples?
Really strange stuff.

Btw where du you get those charts with all the parameters together?

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.

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.

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.
