Edge 305 heart rate accuracy
The heart rate monitor on my Garmin Edge 305 is the first that I've owned, and I just started using it today. I'm 25, and the Edge told me my max heart rate should be 193. That seems to agree well with various calculations I've seen on the internet. However, during my workout, I was sustaining something like 107% of this maximum for a couple of minutes.
So, I'm aware that the calculations of max HR are just estimates, but can the measurement really be far enough off that this happens?
During the workout, I did not think to hand-count my HR. I will try this next time.
