Responseness of Garmin running power

When using garmin running power with the HRM Pro the responseness seems very slow compared to stryd. I just looked at a interval run using stryd and power change has a delay of 2-3 seconds. When using garmin power it seem like the delay is 10-30 seconds and flucturating a lot. I would like to use the native running power, but for now this don’t seem like a mature product. Anyone with better luck?

You need to go to activity settings and go into running power settings.

Out of curiosity are you using the Stryd for pace and distance when using the Garmin power?

No today was without the stryd pod, but have used that on other runs where the garmin running power also seemed to be lagging.

… but will try another run with garmin power and stryd for distance/pace to see if the lagging will be improved.

And also multi-band vs all systems vs auto select (SatIQ) GNSS settings might matter current pace responsiveness.

Do you have discrepancy between HRM PRO reported power and watch reported power?

How do you see the difference?

So you have better responseness to power changes with garmin power than stryd power?

there is a toggle in the run power settings to use wrist or accessory

Its was set to smart, but have changed it to accessory (should be the same, as I was wearing the HRM Pro belt)
