So I have one these garmin HRM. I think its v2 or something like that.

Anyway, when i put it on and i stay sitting down it has my resting heart rate settle around 90 bpm and then as soon as i stand up and walk around hang out at 110 bpm. During workouts I find it thinks my heart rate is around 200bpm. I feel like this is a bit high and I know the resting is wrong because if I time myself and count beats my resting heart rate is around 75 while my watch reads 90-100. Is there something I am doing wrong that is making it read so far off? I tried replacing the battery but same old thing. I would like to train with a heart rate monitor and id be okay if I knew it read consistently high across the board but have no way of verifying. Thanks for any advice
