Forerunner 965 HR issues after update 20.29

Since the last software update Software version 20.29 I have noticed that my watch shows wrong HR. For example then I am walking it shows 100 bpm. while cycling it shows 80 bpm or less. While running it goes up to 130 bpm. Has any one the same issues. Is it possible to rollback to the older software version?

Has anyone solved this problem?

it’s very frustrating to buy a new watch and having such issues since day 1

No, and my hopes are low. This problem is persisting since the beginning of the summer. In fact, I couldn't use my 965 for any training in terms of WHR since months. Before it worked exceptionally well, much better than I could have ever immagined. With any software updates new bugs come in while old ones remain unresolved (WHR, battery life, trainings not displayed etc.).
Just have a look at the Beta Forum (also the FR265). There are complaints everywhere. Garmin's reaction is to close it down periodically (since 2 months now). No clue why.

Guess all developers are working now on the Fenix 8 and next Forerunner.

Changes has been made to WHR in latest beta, fingers crossed…

Tried today, unfortunately no improvement. Same behaviour as the last months.

All,

Thank you for the feedback. If you have not read Garmin Watch Optical Heart Rate Accuracy Tips already, please do! Please also update to sw version 21.19 and test a few more activities. If you still see OHR inaccuracies, please create a new thread.
