Jun 16, 2021 at 12:55 comment added Ifor Your very much not in the target market for these devices. The devices are designed for a standard normal heart beat. For someone not knowing they have a medical condition it can be argued that getting a high reading is better than a good reading. It in a way alerts the user that there is some issue. Maybe a device could be designed to target your condition but is that condition common enough and the signal regular enough to be able to re-work a device for it?

Jun 14, 2021 at 15:51 comment added Carel Ask your GP or heart specialist about the correlation of the readings and your condition. Fingertip readings and IR trans-skin devices are not the most reliable, especially vs. chest straps. (One thought, is your GPS software up to date?)

Jun 14, 2021 at 13:01 comment added Michael If you really have a heart condition I guess a LED-based sensor (e.g. wrist watch) might work better for you. However they also require a good fit which might be hard on a bike with bent wrist and all the sharp shocks/hits.

Jun 14, 2021 at 12:31 comment added gschenk I had to try different HRM to find one that has reliable results for my physiology. (In that case a Sigma HRM). Others I tried measured either nothing or garbage.
Jun 14, 2021 at 12:25 comment added Chris H I never had much luck with chest strap models, especially out on a bike (as opposed to in the gym, mostly on a treadmill). Some people find the LED-based upper arm ones better, but they tend to be more expensive. I only borrowed one once briefly; it worked but that wasn't enough of a test to recommend either way
Jun 14, 2021 at 12:01 comment added Daniel R Hicks This is a common problem, and there are several possible causes. Poor skin contact is one possibility, but this can also be due to a medical condition that makes the heart rate hard to read.
Jun 14, 2021 at 11:55 comment added ojs Do you know that these numbers are wrong? How do you take the reference measurement?
