My reboot was the hold light button method. Its a shame the watch cannot highlight the process(es) that is draining the battery! That at least could help us users help Garmin.

Hi,

I deleted the corrupted file in my stryd account and imported the above file to my account. Looks pretty good. Stryd support does not know what happend. By the way, reinstalled the 9.71 and we will see if the issue happens again with the data of my next run tomorrow

This problem is not fixed with 9.71. When will this happen.

I was not aware of this issue. I run to the gym with the HRM run and without headphone, then I switch to strength training (multisports activity), connect to my Bluetooth headphone and listen to mp3s (no Spotify or Amazon) during training. After that I disconnect the headphone, switch to run again and make my way home. This works perfectly.
