I'm seeing some oddness with the training status widget I've had this watch since the 12th and had 4 runs with an HR strap and 2 with the optical HR in that time. Is this normal? Also i think the connect mobile application is somewhat goofy as it is asking me to select which device to show training status from when I only have the one device in the application (i removed the other one). I'd like to avoid a factory reset here, but this widget changing from the default to "no status" worries me a little. ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1232223.jpg

Did you use the Run App to record your activity? The Trail Running App does not give you VO2 max calculations, so your training status won't be available.

Yes, and i have a Vo2 max showing in the widget (well i did before rolling back to production software last night).
