Inaccurate, inconsistent



How has everyone's experience been with the heart rate monitoring while walking or running? Mine is both inaccurate and inconsistent. I ran 4 miles the other day and had Nike+ running on my GS2 and had my phone with me for the GPS. After the run I checked my heart rate graph on the Nike+ website and for half of the run it was in the 80's while the second half of the run was in the 130's. My heart rate while trail running is usually 160-190 or so. Sometimes it would document my heart rate at 215-220...which is ridiculous.

Also, today I went on a 2 mile walk and activated the walking feature on the S Health app on the G2S. I also had my phone with me so, so the GPS was working. After the walk was finished, it said I walked about 2 miles and showed me the time, but it had not registered any steps for the said walk. It had 800 or so steps on the counter, which is what I had before I started the walk. Also, it had my heart rate down around 80 or so for half of the walk, where it would been around 120 or so...

Anyway, this watch is nice, but it needs software updates or something to get it more accurate.
