A problem I’ve heard people complain of, phal but so far mine has been behaving. I do wear mine well above away from the wrist bones and my lower arms are fat enough for it to have a good flat spot to sit on, though |

If I have mine in the 4th hole no problems if I use the 5th hold it’s a bit loser so not so good until I’ve warmed up like you explained

I need a hole half way between five and six on my strap!! I have it on the 5th hole when running (but work off my wahoo strap anyway for HR) and the 6th for everyday as the 5th is less comfortable when doing other stuff. I've been learning to pinch of salt the odd readings anyway around this time of year - I remember it doing it a bit before too, same as it says that certain arm positions etc make it less reliable - I've found some of my arty stuff alters the readings too depending on what I'm doing.... I am NOT going to wear my wahoo all day

I’m back to strained on training and low on HRV. I am tired today though but that’s mainly because I had a rubbish nights sleep. I’m just running a streak saving mile with Day 10 of Adriene’s yoga practice today so I’ll see what tomorrow brings. |

Back to balanced, well recovered and training readiness high. Maintaining, high aerobic shortage. I suppose I had better go run then. |

I’m a plus one maintaining after a day off on Tuesday collecting a new Wetherspoons I was plus 3 yesterday ! I still have to run home after my morning coffee in 20 mins - will be a negative. After an unrunable parkrun at 13.44 pace on NYD I’m now back to averaging sub 9 min miling. (Averaged 8.59 last year). |

My optical sensor is useless in cold weather as my circulation isn't good (hello Raynaud's, my old friend) and I've got pretty skinny wrists so it's really difficult to get any decent readings when I'm active. It tends to go into cadence lock when I've got cold hands. I get one really cold hand where I've got the watch while the other is warm from running. Therefore, I have to wear it on the outside of the sleeve of my running shirt or else I won't even be able to unlock the door because I lose all sensation in it. |

My optical sensor seems to be fairly solid I only record rather than use HR so not a big issue But I’m delighted that I’m back to productive again today |

I'm mostly happy with my optical sensor. But I can see that a really slender wrist could result in connection problems. Mine isn't and I still only have one hole to spare.
