    I’m the one who reported the issue to Brian as I started using his Yoga+ app today. I purchased Forerunner 55 end of April 2023 which was on display in a Garmin shop in Singapore. As such, Garmin seems to have every intention to continue selling this model. Please fix the bug as it really drains the battery for activities that do not require the GPS to be enabled! The whole point of me being drawn to Forerunner 55 was that it has a long battery life. However with this bug, it drained my watch’s battery by 30 percent after approximately two hours of barre and yoga tracking.
