Epix (Gen 2) 20.16 release bugs

7929535 3 months ago

Ever since 20.16 update I've noticed the following and have not seen anyone else reporting the BodyBattery factor bug.

BodyBattery at watch shows yesterday's events as "factors" e.g. Run, Rest, High stress, nap etc. Only sleep is shown correctly. Garmin Connect on mobile does not have yesterday's factors for today's body battery.
The list at watch updates to today's factors after a factor today is originated.
All activities in the body battery factor listing at watch are now shown as "Run" regardless of actual activity. Garmin Connect on mobile shows the activities correctly.
HRM PRO does not connect automatically anymore. Is there a workaround specifically for this until a fix is released? I prefer to use strap data as it is more accurate.

More seriously: at least 2 out of 3 have already been reported on the forum, but to be sure, report all the bugs you find to the official support: https://support.garmin.com

Garmin doesn't seem to look at this forum at all, so it's a waste of your nerves to report it here ;)

For HRM of any brand, you need to remove the sensor and re-add it and it works

Does not solve the problem in my situation. Have to manually connect the strap each and every time. Already started runs without the thing connected, not an improvement at all. Don't know what they're up to at Garmin but it is nothing good.

“Improved Swim workout rest screen” makes to screen near impossible to read during a workout in the pool. White text on yellow background.

please just remove the yellow background as this isn’t a setting the user can change

Reporting another bug: on any data screen for outdoor activities (e.g. running or trail running) the "grade" data is stuck at 0 (tested multiple times), never had an issue prior to this update.

Restarting the watch didn't change anything.

Email sent to Garmin support.
