Consistently high heart rate (195-205) during runs

Non Product Specific Garmin Question

I bought a Garmin Forerunner 165 two weeks ago and on every run my heart rate seems quite high. I am consistently hitting 200-205 at a 10 minute mile pace, which seems really high compared to everything I’ve read. Is this a possible issue with Garmin tech, or is my max heart rate just naturally high?
