I did 30 day shred past few days. It showed 140 calories burned. Sometimes like today I did the workout and it showed 35 burned and my heart rate only got to 115, and mostly stayed at 65. How do I fix this, I still have receipt, should I take it back?

    I am also having problems! Mine worked fine for 6 mths and just recently started giving me weird readings. I called support and they had me reset it. I am going to try for a couple days and if it still doesn't work right they are going to replace it!

    Once in awhile it doesn't work. Try recharging it every night. Power off and power on. I haven't been able to figure out why sometimes it randomly doesn't work.

    Is this the one with the "Elevate" wrist sensor? My Fenix 3 HR's wrist sensor is pretty unreliable too. I think it's been getting better lately, but it's kind of all over the place. I wear a chest strap if I want to know what my HR really was.

    Mine is still working well. But then again I only use it for daily activities when I run or cycle I use a chest strap.
