    Why is my Garmin EDGE 500 Bicycle Accessories heart rate data inaccurate?
    • A
      Anita WoodsAug 9, 2025
      If you're experiencing inaccurate or erratic heart rate data with your Garmin Bicycle Accessories, ensure the heart rate monitor is snug against your body. Reapply moisture to the electrodes using water, saliva, or electrode gel. Clean the electrodes, as dirt and sweat can interfere with signals. You might also try positioning the heart rate monitor on your back instead of your chest. Wearing a cotton shirt, or wetting your shirt, may help. Finally, move away from strong electromagnetic fields and some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors.
