When I connect and use an external HR strap and start an activity, the optical HR on watch continues to come on occasionally .
I can see the LEDs turn on.
This seems to be regardless of whether or not Garmin pay is enabled.
I have Pulse ox turned off.
The only solution to this appears to go into settings and manually turn of Wrist HR every time.
I don't think it should be like this.
Please come up with a solution to this problem.
I don’t work for Garmin, I was simply linking you to a comment from a Garmin employee which confirms your observations and explains why this…
I don't want this feature on my watch either! I would very much appreciate the ability to have the OHR turned off when training with the strap, like before. Not having to manually turn it off every time…
I also saw that on the fenix line you can create a powermode with OHR disabled and assign this to an activity... But of course (and unfortunately) this is not possible on the FR955 so that doesn't help…
