fēnix 5 Plus Series stryd pod and hrm

stryd pod and hrm

Former Member over 6 years ago

I just received my replacement device from garmin , about a week ago, and its been holding up due to past bluetooth issues with the iPhone , and now its fine. I have a new problem i think . Yesterday I had my stryd pod and hrm (red) paired together with the watch , and I had no dropouts during my run. Last night I updated the new bluetooth update to 3.00 , and i just did my 4 mile run. Both of the devices dropped out with 10 mins . Any tips or ways i can go about solving this issue ?

What software version are you running? v4.2?

0 Former Member over 6 years ago

Yes I am . I firgured I didn’t need to do beta , because they just released a new update for bluetooth only .

Should I update to the latest beta or no ? Or should I go on a run tomorrow , and see if it continues ?

I would update to the Beta. I had a Wahoo HRM, Stryd and bluetooth headset attached with no problem other than some music cutout in the first 1/2 mile of my run. I think that may be because my phone was in the car with a connection to the headset as well. So I think the Beta is good and have seen no problems for bike/run with several accessories.

RMA maybe. Haven't had those issues with my stryd and HRM attached. Sorry. That has to be frustrating.

In your Garmin Connect Mobile app, did you enter the ANT+ ID of your Stryd into the configuration of your Stryd Power data field?

This is supposed to make the connection between the watch and the Stryd more persistent. For me, it created a more stable connection on my F3. On my F5X+ I made this setting from the very beginning, so I don't know if it would have worked without. I only know that my Stryd works without any problems on the F5X+.

Edit: It just dawned on me that you and I have the same conversation in the Stryd forum. But I actually don't think you have ever commented on the topic of the ANT+ ID configuration.

Thanks Allan , I just updated that info on Garmin watch , and hope to see improvement on my workout today on the track .

Yes I remember the convo we had , but I never commented on that particular thread . I know the Stryd is extremely accurate !! It’s just getting it to stay connected to my watch . But I will give you a update on how my run ended up going .

Thats insane , because I just received this a replacement from garmin , not even a week ago, due to bluetooth connection with my iPhone and now thats not the problem now . I will try what Allan recommended to me. I don't think someone shouldn't have to have no issues buy paying 900 dollars for a device. But thats my 2 cents .
