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.

That will show you which of them was used for the result. Like for example on the following screenshot, which demonstrates how it typically looks like for my activities (this one is an interval run, hence the 10 bumps on it) - the blue curve is the external HR, the red one is the resulting HR. Mostly you see only the blue external HR, since it is identical to the resulting curve, and was drown as the second, covering so the red color. You can see the red color only on places, where the resulting curve used the wrist hr instead of the hrm. You can also compare directly the curves of the wrist and external HR. In my case the resulting HR is usually practically identical to the wrist hr curve, even if the external hr shows more credible data (for example at the very beginning), and that's the reason I finally disabled the Dynamic Source Switching:https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/running-multisport/f/forerunner-265-series/433968/heart-rate-measurement-error---software-version-27-09/2025065Sun, 12 Apr 2026 16:40:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:a05cbdd7-83cd-447e-b4b5-b503c75d1f4bgxgene1Totally agree DC, getting ready live support with a real person that isn't from a non English speaking country and not just reading from a script is something of a delight. But support also made it indirectly clear they are not developers and based on interactions I've had, I don't believe they have any pipeline to the developers. I am also sitting on a trove of Garmin devices; I have been and so want to continue to be a fan (fortunately my auto GPS units do not rely on Optical HR). Normally Garmin would get a free pass when it comes to the next upgrade but the core functions of the FR265 that rely on the suspect Optical HR, plagued with problems that didn't exist for the FR245 (if you have the right firmware version) mean my FR265 is a real pretty looker but not a partner to be relied on when the chips are down. It's now 3 months plus since the last firmware update and that's OK if Garmin is taking their time to get the next release (mostly) right. They can earn my trust back. But if this is Garmin abandoning ship, it's open competition (next time around) with Garmin is sitting on the lower rung, having proven the lack of ability to fix their problems.https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/running-multisport/f/forerunner-970/434626/round-trip-course-disappearingSun, 12 Apr 2026 15:46:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:ec2a1514-4539-4082-9535-b362a58ff6a5Ghestem99Each time I create a round trip course and follow it on the map after a while the map disappears and is replaced by the default screen.
