HR Sensor dot

Hey, please tell me if you have a dot visible on the sensor of your FENIXs? (see the picture)

I had the same on my 6PRO (which I have updgraded), although knowing that I had this on my F6PRO I could swear that it was not there yesterday during the unboxing. This is not a physical defekt. Thx.

I have them on my 6X Pro Solar, but not so obvious - barely visible unless the lighting is strong. I think I would not have noticed them without the suggestion to look.

Just to be clear, I am talking about the dot on the black sensor, not the dots on the white background (which are leds?)

Oops!. I did not notice the arrow pointing to the black sensor. No such dot on my black sensors.

There's absolutely nothing on my 6X PRO... the potting compound is absolutely clear! Here's a shot:

Oops. If you are talking about the spec on the black sensor, then I do not have that. I really do not look under the watch that often as long as it works.

The weird thing is that is the second time I have that - sadly I did not make any photos of the previous watch. I am wondering if that spec is not causing any issues with the sensors accuracy…

Yep. Same on mine. I don't believe it affects anything but of course I could be wrong. WHR is so variable between individuals that it's hard to determine whether there is any effect on the the readings. I don't see any issues with my WHR,

if you feel you do have a problem reach out to Garmin Support.

Look bottom right of the two black rectangles - two quadrant shape dots. They are visible in your image.

What about a spec of dust alike dot in the middle of the black sensor?
