Too many features at once? Fenix 5 plus restarts

Former Member over 6 years ago

I’d like to use my Fenix 5 plus with a HRM-Run chest strap, a Stryd sensor, Bluetooth headphones (Jabra Elite 65t) and the Spotify app. These are all oficial features that independently work but together cause the watch to restart mid-activity without any warning.

Is anyone having the same issue? FW on the watch is 6.00 (the latest stable release).

For now, I ended up deleting the Spotify app and the watch is stable with the chest strap and the stryd pod. But that means I have to bring my cellphone along if I want to listen to music...

You might have one too many, I do all of those minus the HRM strap, no restarts, works like a charm with GPS, Stryd, Spotify and Jaybird Run true wireless headphones.

Watch software version 6.00

I had the same issues with version 6.00 with no accessories connected. The device would reboot during activities and even when idle.
I upgraded firmware to 6.72 and no more rebooting during activities as long as I had music on. Bummer. Lot's of rebooting during idle.

I just upgraded to version 7.10 and plan to test it out tonight.
