Total external comms dropout on 4.0

On my run yesterday, I noted a period of about 3.5 minutes where all external comms was lost.

The 945 lost connection to my BT headphones, the HRM-Run over ANT+ and the Stryd FP over ANT+

After the 3.5 mins, they all reconnected.

During the outage the watch continued recording and switched to internal sensors for HR, pace and cadence. GPS continued recording the whole time.

The 945 is running FW 4.00 with GPS 2.70 Ant/BT 5.01 and SensorHub 3.20

Former Member - Should I report this to the support email alias, or is mentioning it here good enough?

I can provide a link to the run over DM on request.

    Hope it works for you, man - it was super nice going on an almost 3 hour hike last weekend and not having any dropouts whatsoever from my foot pod!!  (actually had forgotten about the foot pod, was more excited about the RD Pod since it's more annoying to get that notification while running!).

    Just to update anyone still experiencing these ANT+ dropouts during activities: like a couple of other people in this post a replacement watch resolved the issue. My original watch was revision A and the replacement is revision D. That's not to say all revision A watches will have this fault, as I remember my original watch had a few good months of stable ANT+ connections before I started experiencing the dropouts. It could be a fault that develops over time regardless of what revision 945 you have - I guess only Garmin knows whether that is the case or not. For the time being I'm sorted.
