What's your experience/thoughts on the Tempe sensor?

Hi All.  I have a few questions after reading the forum. I would pair this with my Epix 2 (non-pro) watch. I called Garmin support and the person wasn't very familiar with it.  So a few questions:

1. After the workout is over, do I see the lowest temp recorded in an activity on Garmin Connect app?  Or will it show me a graph for all temps recorded during the activity?

2. If I'm not in an activity, can I just do a spot temp check and it would show me somewhere on the watch or in GC app?

3. I've read quite a few posts about constant disconnects when paired to a watch.  Have you had this issue?  Folks say it's takes about 10 minutes to "settle down" until a stable connection.

I plan on storing this device in my car.  So it will already "be cold" for winter activities.  If I leave it in my house before I run, I'm thinking it will throw readings off.  Perhaps take some time to "cool down" to match the actual ambient temp outside.

Thanks!

    Under sensors & accessories, the status will say "Connected." Depending on how I hold the sensor, it will disconnect within seconds. Then a few seconds later it will reconnect. If I hold it just right, I can get it to stay connected for an extended period. In short, it is obviously some kind of intermittent connection with the battery. I believe it has something to do with the positive battery contact. If I simply hold the battery in place without the cover, it stays connected and works normally.

    I believe the issue is with the small positive battery contact. It may be misaligned, poorly designed, or defective. Others have reported the issue. I am not the first to experience the problem. See this post: forums.garmin.com/.../1447594

    I see what you mean, it does sound like a defect. If you can replace it with a non-defective one you shouldn't have those problems; I've had two and they're both fine.

    Leave it 10 minutes outside, and is ready to use. For best temperature reads, use a layniard and keep temp away from your body Also good to check the freezer's temperature.
