Oh right. So that tells me the site is up, but I knew that.
Is anyone else having problems uploading workouts?

ThunderFeet, regarding your HRM recording weird nocturnal activities while left in the car, I've got another story to tell.

My HRM sometimes continues to record data even after I've taken it off and cleaned it after a run. When I start another activity, e.g. yoga with the optical wrist HRM, the chest strap will get involved and record some bogus data, mostly way too high, 200+ BPM. It's several feet away from me, lying still, I have no idea how it does that. I have to put it into another room so that it doesn't interfere.

I think the HRM Pro has the ability to store HR data until it connects with the phone, then it's going to upload what it has stored.

The chest strap goes quiescent after a while when it's sitting still with no actual chest input, but not instantly, and random 200 BPM values can happen in between.

I've seen a few posts on various forums about watch/phone combos generating a string of very short activities out of nowhere over the last few days, mostly on iOS and from various different watches. I have not seen this on Fenix 7x + Android myself.

My issues I described on page 609 seems to have been a faulty HRM pro plus.
I lost some data, but it still gave me pulse data, but bad data. And I saw it in the breathing data for some strange reason.
I got sent a new one and it disappeared, at least 98% of it. So so far it seems like it was the gear then.

That’s good. Breathing rates are calculated from RR intervals, the pulse rate shifts up and down slightly with the breathing cycle and low pass filtering can identify that, so if the pulse was corrupt the watch was probably giving up entirely on trying to extract respiration from it.

Thanks tipsku and Badger!

I'm an Android user (and 735xt, but the activities bypassed the watch)

It's so mysterious especially as the hrm must have woken up my phone inside the house, a lot more than 3m away to upload the spurious data.

Weird on the yoga too. I am going to have to keep a close eye on the hrm from now on 🤣

So there was maybe a logical explanation to the data madness Badger :)
