Hi Garmin. My Fenix 7 shows fake steps after training with HRM pro plus. Why is that? Some hot fix?
Hi Garmin. My Fenix 7 shows fake steps after training with HRM pro plus. Why is that? Some hot fix?
Explain precisely how they're fake.. Are you training with just the HRM Pro and using data caching?
HRM-Pro Plus does have a feature where it syncs HR, steps and intensity minutes if you wear it while you’re not wearing your watch. I think this is a separate feature from the thing where it optionally merges HR data into your activity when you save it.
The irony for me is I want steps to be synced when I play basketball and I wear the strap but not the watch - it used to work for me but not anymore.
Do you have your HRM-Pro Plus synced with the Connect app on your phone? if so, try removing it. That should prevent HR, steps and intensity minutes from being synced.
Take a look at time. I end the training with 12k steps, then watch change it to 18k steps, then come back to 12k steps. I wonder from where is coming that difference, happen after last update several times. And fake steps was to catch attention
I run with both. Difference appear when I coming to back from training. Well disconnect should help but to be honest before last update everything was correct.
Yeah I agree this sounds like a bug.
Just out of curiosity, was your activity roughly 6k steps? That would support my theory (that your steps are being double-counted bc the strap is also syncing steps after an activity.)
EDIT: but if it's reverting back to the correct number, then it's just a temporary thing and maybe I wouldn't worry about it so much.
