Cadence on Vivoactive 4

Has anyone else have a problem with cadence during a run? I have the watch since June and ever since it is not showing the cadence correctly. I'm running with a tempo in the range 170-180 and it is showing 88 or 90. It is especially annoying if you have min and max notification during a run.

No, the readings are stable when I am running. Looks like your watch is missing some steps. Maybe you are not moving your watch arm vigourously enough when running?

I figured out that this is happening when I have a look at the watch during run. If I do not look at it it shows stable data. I do not think that this is normal.

This IS normal. How can the watch detect your cadence if you are not swinging your arm?

Ok, thanks I just thought that a mere look to see the lap time would not cause such effect.

Just to be clear, cadence can be lost at the moment when you look at the watch, and should resume when you resume swinging your arm. If cadence is interrupted for a longer period of time, then indeed there's something wrong.
