Fenix 7 Saphire Solar - Firmware 18.16 - all ok so far

Hi,

For 36 hours I've been using 18.16. I've upgraded from 16.22, did a soft reset (15 seconds light button) after the upgrade.

So far, no problem. After the upgrade I've done a bicycle workout, with GPS on. I've the Incident detection configured. The battery app/glance saying 0.145%/h usage after the 36h (with 8h of battery save mode). 

I did not yet test the HRM to check for possible connection problems. The sleep detection/score is correct, as well as HRV. There was no drop of Endurance Score.

Maybe I'm lucky, but this 18.16 version is in my case quite stable and without any bug that affects my usage.

Best regards,

    Please try with HRM. This is 3 tests that I did:

    Test 01:

    1. Using HRM pro 

    2. Bring your phone with bluetooth always on.

    3. Using a in-ear bluetooth to connect with your phone also for music (I dont use music from the watch). 

    During workout, I saw the Heart rate often lost data as the photos. 

    Battery is good. 

    Test 02:

    1. Using HRM pro 

    2. All bluetooth of the phone is turned off, using only ANT+ for HRM and watch. 

    Battery is good, HR during workout ok, but  after stop workout, the HR is stuck at very high HR, although my HR max during the workout is 165 only. But after saved the workout, the HR shown in the watch is 224 bpm, it is crazy, because my Max HR is about 186-188 only.

    I had to disconnect the HRM pro from the watch, then my HR is back to Normal (90bpm, after workout 3 minutues). 

    Case 1

    Case 2

    You show a picture of the HR on a third-party CIQ watchface

    . It may be a faulty code in the third-party app.

    Please compare the HR with the original Garmin HR widget.
    If the Garmin HR widget is correct and the third party watchface is incorrect, you should contact the developer of the watchface.

    Not sure. But after disconnect the HRM pro, my HR back to normal. And never have this issues before.

    But I will test one more time with default watch face with Recovery HR after workout to make sure.

    Now I can sure it is not because of watch face. See the HR report in garmin connect

    It is unbelievable. After finish workout, although I run close to LTHR, max value of HR during thr work out just 165, but when stop workout, the HR nearlly 200??? Although I feel really good and stop the workout 1-2 minutes?

    Hi David,

    I do not listen to music while running, so I don't have the Test case 1. 

    For the test 2, I did use the HRM today and it worked fine. At the end I had the real HR. I did the recovery HR and had the HRM for a while after stoping and saving the activity. 

    Can you problem be just a one-off? 

    Cheers

    Thank you. I am not sure if it is only one off. I will check tomorrow with a progression run.

    For case 01, I will test again too. I run alone with really hot weather (32-35 °C), so, listen to music for Long easy run is the way to passing the boring.

    With ANT+ only, it work fine. Case 1 is for Bluetooth always on.
