If I hit 200 I stop and take a break. After that point, everything gets really weird like a PC trying to do to much at once and is moving programs from RAM to the hard drive and back.
If I notice I'm in the 190s, I dial it down a bit in an attempt to regroup. Though, to be honest, I haven't hit 190 over a year so I think I'm doing something wrong or need to find actual hills and not these bumps I call hills.

I would say they are estimates that on average might get you in the "ballpark" but your individual HRmax may or may not fit the formula.

Hope no one minds, but I have a related question. I got an Edge 800 about a month ago with the heart rate monitor. It seems to work ok at rest 68 bpm. I am 61 and ride 150 miles a week at a good pace 20mph and up for the most part. Anyhow my heart rate frequently goes over 200 bpm sometimes up to 240. I am sure it is not accurate since I am often not even breathing hard, and able to carry on conversations with other riders. I have tightened the strap as tight as is comfortable, made sure the contacts are wet, even turned it so the contacts are on my back. Garmin replaced the unit in case it was at fault, but the new one is the same. Anyone have an idea what is going on?
I know this is for a garmin 310xt, but I am sure they use the same strap across all their newer devices.

I do know what's going on as I've experienced it. It's a well known issue with their newer chest strap. The old one works, the new one can be very annoying indeed. Lots of posts on Garmin's forums about the issue. Check this one out - https://forums.garmin.com/showthread...uunn#post17601 . It would be worth your while reading the whole thread I think.

Thanks, at least I know I am not alone in this, I am not sure what to do after reading all of the posts it seems there is no sure fix, all I can do is try some of their suggestions.....

Speak to suppliers and see if anyone has the strap thar came before the "premium soft strap". This previous strap works perfectly. It's what I use. when I got my watch it came with the new strap. Contacted supplier and they sent me the older one.
