If you have a Garmin device, make sure your signature is up-to-date on the device (through Garmin Connect on your phone) and the Garmin unit is set to record at 1 sec intervals, _not_ Smart Recording (System, Data Recording, Recording Interval).

Hello,

I have the same issue if I zoom on a specific time interval.

See: [Wrong displayed average values when zooming](https://forum.xertonline.com/t/wrong-displayed-average-values-when-zooming/49684)
