Epix Pro Metronome Not Keeping Time

MC 11 months ago

I own both an Epix Pro and a FR965.

The metronome (and countdown timer during workouts) is totally wonky and inconsistent BPM when in use. The FR965 does not have this problem at all, and keeps consistent time during metronome beeps and workout countdowns.

I am using a Connect IQ Data Field (Stryd Zones) on both watched. Is the Epix Pro not capable of doing a data field and keeping time at the same time? Is it just underpowered? Or do I have a defective watch?

I would assume the Epix Pro has a better processor than the FR965... but AFAIK Garmin does not share any of this information.

It's not your watch. My Tactix7 amoled does it too. I don't use the metronome but the countdown timer at the start of each interval isn't always sync'd with the seconds showing on the watch. It isn't even a constant offset and seems to vary randomly.

Edit: I have no Connect IQ apps installed apart from Spotify.
