Fenix 5 and Stryd

Hi,

I know that connection between Fenix 5 and Stryd was very bad in the past.

Is this still the case or have things improved?

I know a new Stryd is getting launched soon with better connection, but I still have the old Stryd, which I want to keep.

Since the price of the Fenix 5 has dropped, I would like to buy one and use it with Stryd (for pace and distance).

Greetings,

T
