My Pixel watch would record an accurate heart rate, until it wouldn’t. It would matched my HRM strap beat for beat, then suddenly read 183bpm while my HRM strap was rolling at 113. A casual steady pace Zone 2 ride would be reported in Fitbit as a monster workout while Garmin Connect happily recorded what really went down. It was snug. Then it was tight, the sensor dome and band leaving their mark on my wrist (see below LOL) . I wore it where it naturally settled. It felt comfortable but apparently inaccurate. Move it up your wrist they said. I cleaned it. Move it. I reset the watch. Hey, did you move it yet? I moved it. Why didn’t anyone tell me to move it. It’s spot on now. My Pixel Watch 4 now mirrors my Garmin HRM 100%. My 2hr Zone 2 rides don’t appear like a savage TDF stage. Move it. Up your wrist!
Hey if your Pixel Watch Heart Rate seems whacky off, what do we do? Move it. Up your wrist!
