you need to disable dynamic switch in the health & sports options, because there is a new option that enabled both external device and internal device for more accurate reading if the external fails, will backup to the interal of the watch, disable it, i have and works fine only with external

internal device for more accurate reading

After my mornings long run today I touched twice my lthr pace for a 2 minutes each time... On OHR only. and saw about 140 bpm instead of 165. So, with all my desire, I can’t name OHR sensor at least somehow accurate. How it was before the update 17.xx.
So I would call this additional function more interfering than increasing accuracy.

Jajaja! this is what Garmin told in their website! not me! jajaja by the way, i told i have it disabled ;) , but... so many people complaining about it, i feel its not as accurate as firmware 16.XX or maybe 17.XX but for long steady runs, my unit its pretty good, near identical the chest strap, did you make a soft reset or hard reset in the watch after the update to 19.XX firmware?
