S9B Strange HR and HR-Zones behavior

@tomasbartko
you might want to do some tests with watch integrated OHR and even a HR strap from a friend, before you do a hard reset and investigate further

I forgot to mention that I have used a custom Trail running sports mode. Tried also the default ones and a different HR strap, tried OHR. This is from this morning, for example:

I think it’s pointless. I’m going to try factory reset now, although I have mixed feelings about that.

I have in memory that it takes some time before the zones are adjusted correctly. what do you see when you look into your older activities that were faulty back then? do they still look the same?

[A Former User]

@freeheeler Yes, unfortunately they all look the same. No change at all.

@tomasbartko Before you do the reset, do you have both default zones and sport-specific zones set up in the watch? And, are they different?

@brad_olwin Well, I did the reset and have good news - the problem with the stuck zone is gone. Did a few tests and it behaves normally now

Hello everyone. I have the same problems when I train with the chest HRM. The firmware is up to date, the heart rate monitor battery is new, I wet the HR belt several times during training, but the heart rate was inadequate. I had set up HRZ4, I had turned on training peaks - cycling power, which all the time showed rtss 0.00, NP 0 (That I also don’t know why, but I understand it’s another topic). The next workout I will try at the same settings, but with OpticHRS. I haven’t reset the watch yet. It would be grateful if anyone would comment on these issues. I wish everyone health!

@ingiliz as you see the problem that @tomasbartko had was that HR was stuck in Z4 on the watch, even without HR being measured. So you need to test with OHR and with no HR at all before we can say if it’s the same issue, or just a broken HR strap.

@isazi Thank you for the rapid response. Until ten days ago I used the same chest belt with traverse alpha and I believe it. Today I just checked the battery.

@ingiliz as @isazi mentioned, try the same activity without the HR chest strap, just OHR on your wrist. But overall it seems to be a bit different issue than I’ve had. If it works with OHR, then most probably you just need a new strap and don’t have to reset the watch. Just my two cents.
