F7x, running dynamics not show up

Hello, 

I added running dynamics fields (both of them) to run profile activity.

Immediatly after i start activity, Watch shows that external hr was connected, but i dont see running dynamics field... I have to wait a lot of minutes to show up And start measure.

If i start running before i can see those fields, i dont have running dynamics metrics in activity. So i have to wait till it show.

HRM TRI, new battery.

This happens in Every single run. Sometimes it show in firt minute, Sometimes it need a few minutes.

Very disapointing. This never happend in Last two years with F6x.

Help pls. Or Garmin can u fix it? Looks like Bug. 

  • I have the same problem, I bought a HRM-Pro Plus and I have Garmin Fenix 7 Solar. Running dynamics are not show, or sometimes they are shown randomnly for few seconds, then dissapears.

    I did a lot of testing and the running dynamics appears seldom, more often than not, they are not shown. The HRM-Pro is new, battery full, and it is correctly placed at the chest. Connection is Ant+.

    It looks like a software bug in Fenix 7. Garmin, please fix this. The HRM is pretty much useless without those parameters, and the heart rate monitor was not cheap to purchase.

    Fenix 7 Solar - Software Version 6.55

    HRM-Pro Plus - Software Version 8.80

  • Few questions. 
    Why are you still on such old SW on your Fenix?

    Which connection type you have between watch and strap, ANT+ or Bluetooth?

    Are you moisturizing your strap electrodes before you wear it?

  • Problem solved. I performed a factory reset for the watch, then I upgraded the firmware to version 11.28 using Garmin Express.

    At first, I tried to connect to HRM with Fenix 7 Solar as it was, I don't remember which softare version, but running dynamics didn't work.

    Then I performed a factory reset to my watch, to the software version 6.55 as in my reply. Running Dynamics did not work correctly in that version 6.55, which I thought it was the latest. But after some research, I saw that it was not even close to latest version, so I installed version 11.28 with Garmin Express. Now Running Dynamics seems to be very stable.

    Thanks for feedback.
