What? Is your Garmin heart rate monitor not working?
That is not the first time I have heard that question and I am sure will not be the last. Anything mechanical though or anything electronic is going to have issues. We cannot expect a whole lot more out of something that is man-made.
But, that's not what you were here if you're Garmin heart rate monitor watch is not working. You've invested a lot of money and time in purchasing the watch and getting an understanding of its functionality, so you wanted up and running as quickly as possible if it's not functioning right.
Dealing with most any company's CSR function is at the very least a hassle these days. It is usually staffed by people from another country who barely know anything about watch products or anything remotely related in many cases.
So, it is wise to go through a few steps before you resort to investing your time and calling the company itself…
These are the things that you need to try first if you're Garmin heart rate monitor not working it still on your agenda:
* Before you do anything else, try updating the firmware on your device. The way you do that is to plug the watch into your computer and then go to the website and download the latest update. That could well solve your problem, but at the very least, you will have gotten the most up-to-date software on your device.
* Check the contacts on the transmitter belt. They could well be corroded from the sweat they are exposed to as you are running or working out. Because they are made out of a type of metal alloy, there will be oxidation. That oxidation could cause corrosion and lack of connectivity and therefore could result in a poor pulse signal to the watch.
* Finally, if none of that works, then try a factory reset. This will likely wipe out all of the memory on the device that will wow you to start from scratch. This can really be a hassle but it can also be the solution to any problem.
Of course, if your Garmin heart rate monitor not working right is still at the top of your list, you could resort to investigating the possible solution through other similarly perplexed folks online. Through some type of user forum or blog, you can often solve this type of issue but you are still counting on the experience of someone who is not factory trained, so you need to be cautious in employing any advice you receive.
