Fenix 5X useless for Bike Power Training so far

Maybe its just my watch, but so far this is useless for Power Training.
My F3 was 100% stabile compared to my Edge 1000 + 520, but the new F5x is WAY, WAY off and have major Drop outs ALL THE TIME.
I have used it for about 6-8 rides now and everyone has Drop outs.
Today i did 7x7`LT intervalls, and it was around 20-30watts off in each intervall compared to my Edge 520.

Anyone else had this issue?

I hade the same with my 920xt a while ago, but it got better on next update, but never 100%.
F3 was as said 100% from the start;-)

kJs agree between my 5X and other head units. The power gauge is great, too!

Here are some rides I've done with the Fenix 5X. I'm using Garmin Vector 2s, obviously with ANT+.

Ot: you have an incorrect ftp setting. It's not possible for normal humans to sustain if 0,99 for 2,5 hours

Hi maybe is it only my watch
I have new Fenix 5
while using indoor cycling with speed and cadence , after few seconds riding the I am lossing the connection and speed the cadence are disappered
the wierd thing is , that while I am placing the watch aside (not on hand/wirst) the connection is not lost
then when I return the watch on hands (I want also HR) , the cadnace and speed are loosing
I aready updated the SW and already reboot the watch to the default and did many time paring with the cycling sensors
Are you familiar with such behavior???

thanks
I.

Likely can’t help much but you say you have a 5.. this forum is 5X. I say this as the 5 series (except for the 5X) has had a lot of reported issues with sensor drops and, if you have the 5, you might be better posting there. Hardware in the 5X is different.
