Yoga: no stress tracking when using HRM-Tri

Roughly half a year ago, an update added stress tracking during yoga activities (including a nice stress-over-time graph).

When I use the watch as a HRM, stress is measured throughout the complete activity. However, when using a HRM-Tri, stress is not recorded. Sometimes very few stress values are recorded (maybe when the HRM-Tri lost connection and the watch measures the HR for a second?), most of the time the stress graph stays empty.

If I use a more accurate cheat strep, I would prefer to have the same or better overall measurements, not to choose accuracy for the price of losing other metrics.

Is this behaviour also experienced by others?

    I also noticed that in the Breathwork activity, stress is not measured when I used an external HRM (a Polar H7, in my case). However, stress was measured when I just used the 945's built-in HRM.

    Looks like Garmin applied a similar approach to both the Yoga and Breathwork activities - Stress can only be calculated if we use the 945's built-in HRM.
