Recently had a conversation with support about how my weather on my Vivoactive 4 is constantly reporting absurd values like -20c to -30c. They suspected the temperature sensor was faulty and immediately shipped me out a replacement (I have both in front of me right now).
Upon getting the new one setup, everything looked great (temperatures were correct!). I took the dogs for a short walk and upon returning the watch prompted me for a software update. I figured because it was a refurbished unit it probably had really old software, no problem.
After installing 6.50 (It printed a bunch of messages about sensor updates) the replacement watch is now also showing crazy temperatures like -25C. Makes me think my original watch isn't even broken, it's a software bug. Or I got really unlucky and both watches are broken. I've sent all of this information to the support team to see what they make of it.. but it's especially annoying because it syncs this temperature to Garmin connect which in turn syncs to my cycling computer (Garmin Edge 530).. so when I'm getting ready to head out for a ride or already on a ride, the weather reports are unreliable and nonsense. It's super frustrating.
Has anyone else had this issue?
As I type this from my office (20.5c) with an outside temperature of (1c) both watches are showing temperatures in the mid minus 20's.
I've tried using a fixed location on Garmin Connect as well, it didn't change anything.
Old Watch
Edge 530 Weather Compromised
Refurbished Replacement Watch
For fun I set my Fixed Weather Location to Florida and rebooted my watch. It's currently 21℃ there, but my watch just says "No Gps ℃".. alright then!
