New 965 quite buggy - Primary Training Device not supported + Stryd data drops

With the shipping 3.21 firmware Stryd data just cuts off to zero after a few minutes (a known 955 bug by the looks of it) and it seems TruSync / Primary Training Device is broken (not supported) as my HRV etc didnt carry over so I have 3 weeks to wait for HRV status etc

Also I am finding optical HR really quite poor so far, although I usually get bad results with optical I wanted to see if it had improved but on a walk HR was droppping close to my Resting HR at times!! I had on another watch on the opposite wrist with a chest strap and the 965 was often 15 bpm lower than actual. I do know how to wear my watch correctly and too be fair these poor results are typical for me. I hoped a lighter plastic body might improve things there, but no luck.

From what I've read there should be a newer firmware available, have you tried to update?

Hmmm, don't have a 965 but stryd power seems to work fine with my 955?

I simply added it as a footpod and use the stryd power datafield, but things get recorded fine... Longest run I've used it for recently was ~3 hrs and it recorded for the entire time.

I know how it should work, but its not.

Please do not mistake someone reporting a bug to not knowing how to set up Stryd, which is trivial

This is about the 965, not the 955 and its widely reported that Stryd data recording was truncated on other watches.

It looks like bug was not carried over to the 965 code branch

When did you get that update? I have had the watch for a while and its been stuck on 3.21 ever since

Are the bugs i reported fixed? Usually update notices are published here or on Garmin's website somewhere.

Very odd! I guess at some point an update will be 'officially' announced and rolled out alongside a changelist but my side I have no option to update.

Did you come from.another watch that already recorded HRV status and did it carry over for you? In my 3.21 firmware the new truesync v2 status syncing / unified training status is simply not there.

would it not be better to check via Garmin Express

What gave you the impression I hadn't?

I do not know how to be clearer - I do not have any option to update. My side there is zero evidence of any firmware updates from 3.21 at all.

The only update is TopoMaps - firmware is usually rolled out incrementally, not everyone gets updates at the same time
