Venu 3: after upgrade to 13.17

This is what the respiratory rate curve looks like over 4 weeks after the software update. Is this normal?

I'm seeing the same shift - normally had been in the 13 - 14 range, now goes 18 - 20. I switched back to my old Venu 2 plus and it is showing the normal 13 - 14, so something seems definitely off with the Venu 3 and it appears to be tied to the recent update.

It’s exactly the same for me. Also the heartbeat measurement during an activity is not correct anymore after the update.

Yes, the device has been restarted. This day it's still the same problem.

Day of update. Is this normal?

I found out that it’s GPS related. Activities without GPS are not affected. But whenever I do an activity using GPS (eg walking) then the measured heartbeat is too low.

Hi, the same happened for me. I had an avereage of 13-14 since I have my Garmin Venu 3s (>6 months). Since 21 February my average increased to 16-17. It didn't increase gradually but changed from one day to the next. I assume something changed with the Software Update...
