It is a proprietary algorithm that some users ignore mostly because they go by their own assessment of how they feel. “Training Readiness” can be hit or miss. From my experience mostly a miss. I look at my HRV trend and see how I feel after warm-up and adjust accordingly. Even a good coach will assess their athletes “readiness” by simple asking how they are feeling before a workout. Most coaches have a “plan b” workout when needed and so should you. This process of checking in with your self far exceeds the “training readiness” algorithm.https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/running-multisport/f/forerunner-265-series/430709/forerunner-265-bluetooth-audio-keeps-cutting-out/2025430Tue, 14 Apr 2026 06:37:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:8e32fec7-15ff-4bc8-b1bf-a2e73ab3cc41CleverClaireI think it might be interference from other Bluetooth devices.

I have a DuoTrap speed and cadence sensor that connects to the watch via Bluetooth. During the workout I show the speed and cadence data from the sensor. In doing more testing, I have found that not all of my workouts cause the battery drain issue. Running only uses Multi-Band GPS, and doesn't cause the battery drain after ending an activity. Cycling (outdoors) causes the battery drain and I have the aforementioned DuoTrap speed and Cadence Sensor. Indoor biking also causes the battery drain and it uses a speed, cadence, and power sensor and during an activity the watch displays information from these sensors. Hiking doesn't cause the issue (multi-band GPS only). I used to think it was ALL activities that caused massive battery drain after an activity, but it actually seems to depend on what sensors you have connected and/or displaying data from those sensors during an activity. Edit: I only display data from my sensors during an activity, not on the watch face. My watch face is "Big Hours" while I have been using for years. It displays steps, heart rate (refresh on gesture, not constant), the date, battery %, steps, and total distance traveled for the day. I don't think the watch face is the issue because I've been using it years and I've upgraded to 27.09 and reverted to 26.08 a few times. Issues appear to only be on 27.09. It's been 3 months and still no fix from Garmin. I reverted back to 26.08 again after doing more testing on 27.09.https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/running-multisport/f/forerunner-970/434360/too-laggy-to-use/2025182Mon, 13 Apr 2026 12:41:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:cd368529-b664-4e49-a924-559e687b669fFlipStoneHmmm, never really noticed that...

Note that HRM 600 is considerably bulkier and heavier than the old models, so you have to fasten it a bit tighter than you may have been used to with HRM-Pro.
