My forerunner 935 stops tracking the pace after 5 minutes?

Former Member over 8 years ago

My forerunner 935 stops tracking the pace after 5 minutes. Only the heart rate was tracked during the whole running. The cadence/stride length/vertical ratio and all other data dropped to zero after five minutes too. I used an RDP.
I didn't try to increase the timeout setting from Normal to Extended, because a friend of mine used the same default settings and the tracking was OK.

And I ran twice these days, both tracking stopped at five minutes. For the first run, the GPS did not start at all. for the second run, the GPS seemed OK for the first 5 minutes. And distance tracking was totally wrong too. I run around 3KM but the distance was only 0.8KM. In the end of the second run, I hit some buttons and the tracking started again.

Anyone encountered this issue?

fttsen, thank you! It's good to know I'm not the only one. I cannot remember if the watch jumped back to clock screen, but it might be related to data field. I see one user mentioned that they switched the data field before the run and it won't freeze anymore.
I'll reset the watch to the factory settings and have a try.

did your watch jump back to the clock screen after it stopped? if it's then it's this same problem faced by some other users including me--> https://forums.garmin.com/forum/into-sports/running/forerunner-935-aa/1253709-activity-freezes-at-30s-to-2-minutes-into-an-activity but for me this problem didn't really always popped up, i only had it 3 times so far, and all at the same hill reps route and stopped at the same exact point without warning just jump back into the default clock watch face.

Also happened to me a few times on 6.10

I reset the watch to factory settings and the tracking looked OK. Will have more tries with customized watch faces and data fields.

Try a couple more without anything first. That way you can be a bit more confident where the problem might lie.
