Is LTHR detection working?

I've read on other watch forums on this site that LTHR auto-detect is/was buggy and not working.

1. Has anyone got an LTHR AUTO detection from the FR265?

2. Does the LTHR test work properly now (it didn't on the 255)?

Obviously all I can offer is anecdotal evidence, but I recently ran a 5K PR while wearing a chest strap and fully expected it to auto-detect and it didn’t.

Now, I already have an auto-detected LTHR from last year, so it’s very possible that it didn’t change, but even if it stayed the same I assumed the date would have updated.

It did work for me. It auto detected a value during normal training and then it detected the same value during the LTHR guided test.

@Alex great to hear! What kind of workout did you do?

It was a Daily suggested, Threshold workout. Just over 5k and 6:52 /km pace.
