Stress level is unreliable - presumably a software issue

Hi,

Today my 6X started to show constantly high stress levels (between 60-90, mostly at 70), all day. As my day was especially quiet, calm and comfortable - not any stress factors, I was very suspicious about the result. I went to the "Reset Default Settings" - keeping the data, and the stress levels immediately went to normal, between 5-50.

I wouldn't consider this as a workaround - but it could help once in a while. I really hope, Garmin could fix this issue soon.

What do you mean by power cycle? I've tried to restart, but no effect - it stayed on high. Only reset solved the issue. Btw, today it was perfectly fine…

i did a full reset and wipe but for another reason, i'm packing it to send back, waiting for RMA due to an altimeter issue.
didn't bother to turn it back on and wear it.

Same here. Stress is sky high and body battery is stuck in the low tens.

Same here. I think Garmin has to fix some bugs....

I have exactly the same issue. In addition to the altimeter and the WHR freezing and dropping during activities.

Note... me device never dips past 8 for body battery. Chart will show flat line lol. Are you dead if 0, therefore infinite 8 untill you rest?
