965 and External HRM

Hi,

I'm primarily a cyclist and use an Edge 1040 with a Garmin HRM-Dual and Vector 3 pedals for most of my workouts/rides. I use my watch (a new 965) primarily as a daily wearable, and for non-cycling activities (hikes, snowshoeing, etc.). I've paired my external HRM to the watch so it records a more accurate reading during cycling activities. When paired to the external HRM the HR widget on the watch face and the HR glance still show the heart rate reading from the optical wrist meter. When I select the HR glance it shows the optical wrist measurement initially, but within 2 seconds it starts showing the reading from the external HRM. When I go back to the watch face, it resumes showing the reading from the optical sensor.

This feels like a bug. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? I really want to use the external HRM strap during cycling activities so I don't have dual record on my watch and Edge in order to get the most accurate HR reading on the watch.

Thanks
