PSA: My fitness tracker's heart rate monitor was way off during workouts

Double-check with a manual pulse count to verify accuracy.

Wait, which workouts was it off for?

Ugh, mine was off for bench press. The tracker kept missing my last couple reps every set. Realized I was lowering the bar too fast for the sensor to catch it. Had to slow down my negative just a bit. Fixed it right away and my numbers finally looked right. Felt good to see the actual total.

Had the same issue until I made sure the sensor had solid skin contact with no gaps.

Regarding missing last reps, was it only during bench press?
