Problems with Ant+ connectivity

Just want to update about Stryd. I have a Fenix 5 Sapphire and have never had any real problems with heart rate dropouts (a few couple seconds on the odd run), but I just got a Stryd and ran a marathon with it. Not a single dropout. You can see the plots below. This was on 5.10SW.

My Stryd is working pretty well with my F5 now since I disconnected the Running Dynamics pod I was also using

it seems that more than one device connected was overwhelming it

I lost about 60 seconds worth of data on a 2 hour 40 run at the weekend, I can live with that

The Fenix 5 Sapphire is currently unusable as a multi-sport watch. I experienced major drop issues with my Powertap P1 pedals and actually bought a FR 935 as I heard they are better with respect to dropouts. It's improved but still far from what I would expect for the top of the line multisport watch. I previously had a Suunto Ambit3 and it was bullet proof; GPS accuracy was great with no lag and stayed connected to my devices (as its BLE only).

I am very disappointed in my experienced with Garmin and am thinking of trying out the new Trainer model.

just had a reply from Garmin on the support ticket I logged

apparently this has never been reported before :rolleyes::mad:

come on Garmin, man up and admit there's a problem!

would love to hear the results this new watch gave on ANT+...

I didnt have the opportunity to thoroughly test the new watch. I did a 1 hour bike ride and a 30 minutes bodyweight workout (squats, burpes, pull and pushups ...) and hadn't got any dropout. I never had problems during running and cycling, however in bodyweight exercises it used to have some dropouts, that this time didn?t occur...

I do not have massive issues but it appears to me that ANT+ connectivity became a bit less stable in the 5.83 beta - I used to see tempe dropouts of few seconds but in my past 2 runs I started experiencing chest HRM dropouts. Anyone else?

my Stryd performed flawlessly with 5.83 last night when I'd have expected a few dropouts

dropouts what dropouts
i cant even pair my 5X with any of my ant+ sensors but bluetoothsensors work fine

and on 5.84 it was bloody awful today :(

Haven't really found a pattern to drop outs. What triggers it is a bit of a mystery. Sometimes I may be drop out free for example my last run was very rainy and I was running through puddles, wiping glasses etc. so plenty of chance for drop outs and yet the run was totally drop out free. Then I may have a run with all devices with full battery, good conditions and I may get a few drop outs. Only thing I've found that booting the watch *might* help. But not sure.

Still for me the drop out issue is not bad and I can definitely live with it. The worst run yet had perhaps 10-20 dropouts and the Stryd distance was only 1% short so I still wouldn't call it a ruined workout... Usually I have 1 or 2 drop outs and for many runs none at all.

Did my first run with stryd today and disappointed, look at this. A lots of food right?
