Another bug? HRM-Run and RUN activity. Watch HR sensor LEDs still working

As subject says, yesterday I made a run activity (firmware 2.50) with my hrmrun4 band. What I've noticed is that while strap was working as I was getting power data fields and advanced dynamics I've also noticed that FR945 LEDs were blinking all the duration of the workout.

Is it not supposed to be OFF while using hrm-run?

(I can confirm that on Fenix5 leds are OFF).

I was just able to recreate this on my own device after turning pulseOX on. I will be creating an engineering ticket and escalating this issue.

Please note that we have the exact same issue on the 245 series. Thanks!

It is supposed to be off yes, also trained yesterday with a chest strap. No blinking at all.

Have you looked in the watch whether the band is shown as "connected" before running? What was blinking the pulse green led or the red for oxygen?

Yes it was connected and I was getting real time advanced dynamics, like TCS, Power etc...The green leds were blinking like when chest strap is not used.

Same issue with the 245.

If you turn off PulseOX and restart the watch before starting the activity, HRM Run connects properly and LED go off.

Ok... Maybe PulseOX also needs the green ones from time to time? I will try, i disabled this feature, because i see no benefit (when not beeing in the mountains) in it.

Maybe i go for a run today with activated PulseOX . I can verify for sure, that the 945 do not blink in any way with disabled PulseOX and connected HRM

Same issue here...

I've PulseOX enabled only at night...and my activity was during the day, so PulseOX was not active. Leds were blinking green during all activity. I just smell they need to check their programming skills from ground and quality check the products.

I was an happy user of Fenix5 (not plus) before this 945 thing.

Well, just turn the PulseOx off. This is exactly what happens to us with the 245: PulseOx function is on, PulseOx working only at night, and iHRM & LED working at the same time. If PulseOx is off and watch restarted then no problem anymore.

I'm trying to understand how you were able to see it "blinking green during all activity"?
