Forerunner 965 issues - activity temperature / sleep tracking

Hi,

I’ve been encountering a few issues with my 965 lately, and wondering if anyone can help?

After recording walking activities (injury prevents me doing more right now sadly), Connect shows the temperature fairly accurately on the map, but within the data it seems to pick a temperature at random, and pass that on to connected services. I don’t think it’s a Celsius vs Fahrenheit thing, as the numbers don’t add up. My watch is using Celsius.

The other issue I have is with sleep tracking, which seems to get fixed every couple of software releases, but then comes back again with others. It really struggles some days to work out when I go to bed, some days being too early, some about right, and some very late, with it being over an hour out sometimes. Equally frustrating is it recording naps that I didn’t take, and missing the odd occasion I do take a nap.

Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

  • I’m having some issue with sleep tracking as well, it seems that it detects REM sleep as awake. I’m pretty sure I didn’t woke up during the sleep and had some dreams. And I’ve seen several nights of the same issue. Maybe it’s just me. My apple watch also has the same issue.

  • I gave up on the auto sleep detection several versions ago.  I just set my sleep time to about an hour later than I ever go to bed and manually turn it on when I go to bed.  The nap detection works for me about every other version.  For me, 23.20 doesn't detect naps at all but the previous version seemed to work well.  Disappointing for the price.  They couldn't even include a QuickFit strap for this price so my 945 QuickFits are collecting dust at the moment.  And then there's Garmin Pay.  Now that there's a Google Maps app maybe they'll come up with a Google Wallet app too.
