    I have the same issue.

    Found that it seems to lock on to the run cadence. The WHR and cadence is pretty much spot on after 10 min.

    Been in contact with the Swedish support and they suggested a soft reset and repair with the phone. Both gave no change or improvement :(

    I have yet to receive a 5.00 firmware update. Is the firmware update still in the process of rolling out?

    What about an Android Garmin Connect update?

    Android Garmin Connect Phone App Improvements and Flaws

    1. Insight Widget

        a. After clicking on Read More and clicking Yes or No

            1. It doesn't indicate whether my choice was saved to the database and allows me to continue choosing Yes or No after closing the widget and reopening the widget.  

        b. More / Different Insights

            1. I currently only see insights for step count. And it's rare...

            2. What about insights for increasing vo2 max (when is the next milestone, am I close to increasing, what workouts would help improve)

            3. Insights for suggested workouts, workouts that will help increase my fitness level or recovery workouts, low aerobic or anaerobic workouts.

    2. Respiration Widget   - My HRM Data should override Wrist Watch Data

        a. This widget's data is only based on watch metrics.  I have a Garmin HRM, and when I run it's reading that my respiration rate is ~35 but the Garmin Connect widget is reporting that my respiration rate is ~20.  It's inaccurate and not reporting the proper data. 

    3. Heart Rate Widget  - My HRM Data should override Wrist Watch Data

       a. This might be doing the same as the Respiration Widget.  I haven't verified because I only see one metric. 

    4. When viewing an activity, lets say a run for example.  

        a. I wish I had a screen where I could follow a dot on the map and view a running metric (cadence, hr, vert osc)

            1. Sort of like the website allows me to do.  

    5. Give the ability to evaluate how well each day went, sort of like evaluating how an activity went.  Good - Bad Day, Notes, Food, ect. 

    Love the watch!  Thanks!

    Just in time for me to be frustrated that I can't access the Grit and Flow metrics from 5.09. D'oh.
