Ok, so more playing. When I do an outdoor run with music, I get a lot of cutting out of the music on my Bose soundsport ear buds. When I do an indoor activity like strength training and using music, using same budsb it doesnt cut out at all. The only difference I can surmise is that the outdoor run is utilizing gps along with all the other sensors, and the strength app does not use gps?

Could the processor be overloaded? BTW, music is out of the Deezer app. Don't think that matters as the last time I reported, they were just STD mp3 files.

djousma when running outdoor there are less reflections of the BT signal. It is not uncommon for outdoor to be a harder environment for a bluetooth headphone to cope with. The best you can do is put the watch on the same side as the master bud.
