[Closed] Accuracy of Garmin HRM?

I've got a Garmin chest strap HRM.

I've used it mostly in the past with my Garmin 500 and 25. However, have recently also had it hooked up to a tablet running TrainerRoad via an ANT+ USB.

Seems I'm seeing a difference of about 10bpm between the Garmin devices and the tablet. For efforts that feel comparable the Garmin devices seem to be reading higher than the ANT+/tablet setup.

Anyone else seeing similar, or is this just a psychological trick of turbo vs 'real' riding?

Run the Garmin and the tablet side by side during your turbo sessions and compare.
