I had multiple sensor dropouts on my Garmin 1050 on my last ride. It was an indoor training ride and my HR monitor (viiiiva) and trainer/power meter (Wahoo kickr 5) dropped out multiple times before reconnecting. My data on Garmin Connect shows the dropouts but my data on Rouvy never dropped out leading me to believe that is the Garmin unit itself that is the problem.
3 things to note:
- I didn't get the dropouts on my first 2 exercise sessions with the unit.
- The unit has since done a software update. I ma now running software version 9.11
- All my sensors were transferred from my old 1040. I deleted those sensors and reactivated then mid session to no avail.
This is very concerning on such an expensive unit.
