last year in the first 955 skiing season (northern hemisphere) the watch counted the uphill in lifts into the runs, making the data totally unusable. This was fixed in April or May 2023. Now in the watch’s second season the skiing app is still broken:
- Total Distance still includes runs and uphill in lifts. Hint: goung up in a chair lift is not a sport!
- Total descent number is just wrong when compared to the sum
of all the runs (see screenshot attached). How does that even happen?
- each uphill in a lift is counted by the watch as a „run“, actual runs and uphill lifts are only recognized in garmin connect after upload
- turning auto-pause on or off does not work at all. Random auto-pause included
I find this utterly strange, as if no-one at Garmin tests their own software. The 935 used by my son still works flawlessly. Since Garmin will take at least another 5 months to fix that (if at all), we can only home for next years season.
best, tole
