Wrong HR during skitouring
-
Hi, did someone experienced a totally wrong HR on the vertical during an activity lately? I was skitourign and my apple watch was correct signing 146 bpm while my vertcial was always wrong like signing 86 or something… the watch was obviously well positioned. it never happened before
thanks -
@giuliosq, hi, considering that you wrote:

I’m assuming that you’re relying on the optical HR measurement. It’s a common issue that with cold weather (less blood flow) and using poles (sort of sensor cadence locking) the OHR measurement fails, even if the watch is well positioned over the wrist. If you care about HR data, go with HR belt.

@Matúš thanks very much! now I get it, that goes exactly according to my kind of sport actually… HR belt BTW I read that could cause some wrong interactions with the avalanche sensor I have to carry on my chest when doing these kinds of activities

@giuliosq, I know about avalanche transceivers but, since I’m not a skimo guy, I don’t know what’s the interaction between these devices.
There are here some users that practice skimo so, maybe, they will share their experience!
