Disabling power should not record 0 W

I'm using the FR 955 with a Stryd footpod while running and now that the Garmin power is always recorded, I can barely use a power based training with the RunPowerWorkout datafield and the Stryd connected as a powermeter. At the beginning of each new lap the watch is beeping because I'm out of the power target, the watch registering 0 W if I disable the power or the own Garmin power that don't match Stryd power if I enable it.

Please don't record any power when the power is disactivated to avoid that. 0 W is still a power value.

And better, let us choose the Stryd footpod as the power input. ;-)

Hello Rudy_des_bois. In an upcoming software update, we should have something to address the 0W power showing up when the native power setting is set to off. I do not currently have a timeline for this…

Garmin should just allow us to use Stryd powermeter. There are no single excuses for Garmin not to support power from Stryd.

You could always downgrade to the FR945. Lol That’ll solve all your problems.

Thanks. :-)

You are right. With my old FR245 I can follow power trainings that way without problem. But I also want the nice traces of the multiband GPS.
I can also use the Stryd workout app with the FR955 but the trace is not as nice.

Well, to be fair...the actual nrs/values reported between devices seem to vary greatly. So I can imagine it not being an option to use them 'interchangebly' (really can't think of the word I'm searching for, non-english speaker here ;) )

Power isn't standardized so all manufacturers use their own scales so to say... That would mess up things

Add my vote for this one too... I have running power from a different source, so disabled native running power, but the Strava activity now shows zero watts, whereas earlier firmware (before native running power) would show my preferred power source.
