[BUG] I2X Solar Tactical built-in watch face malfunctioning

anonymous16 said:

This is the 2nd built-in watch face in Instinct 2X Solar Tactical. After the watch enters low power mode (second on the watch face gets hidden), the heart rate reading still gets updated per second, which makes no sense.

Firmware version: 14.12.0.0

Your video is not supported...

Thanks for letting me know! The original file is MOV, updated to MP4 now.

Thank you - all good now!

Reminds me when trying to use the Garmin Wanna Pay - the seconds stop updating until the system catches up to it.  However I don't think you are in power saving mode as I thought most if not all of the sensors and BT is turned off while in that mode.  Maybe the Tactile is different?

The issue still exists in software version 15.08 (d894f2d).

I believe the seconds disappear on all faces if the watch is immobile (or you don't turn your wrist as in Gesture Mode, to conserve battery.

On built-in watch faces, yes. On Connect IQ watch faces, not always.

But this post is not about the hiding seconds. It's about the non-stop heart rate updating, which makes the hiding seconds meaningless.

Ah I see what you mean.

Best thing to do then is just report the bug directly to Garmin.
