In the winter I always get cadence lock within seconds of starting a run if I use the optical sensor on the watch. On my Fenix 6 it was possible to disable the OHR in specific activities but I can’t see how to do it on the 965.
Am I missing something obvious? I don’t always run with a chest strap and the optical sensor is ruining all the training stats. It’s reached the point where I discard activities instead of saving them.
Garmin has stated this (OHR on with HRM connected) is by design due to a new feature coming. You can see this comment on a few comments on this point.
One example
I wonder if this has something to do with my recent uptick in battery burn as I always exercise with an external HRM.
I have noticed that the OHR seems to still be on even when I'm connected to a chest HRM. With my old 935 the OHR would always be off with the chest strap connected so I'm not sure if it's even possible…
