This is very odd since GPS isn't an option under settings for strength training. Is it possible you hit navigate prior to starting the strength session? It's the only thing I can come up with.
I've been having trouble with treadmill runs stopping during a run for no apparent reason (loses my pace & distance stops) .. ive noticed on these runs that it records the GPS data as well. I wonder if this is a bigger issue .. is there anyway to disable the GPS for these activities?
This is happening for every single Strength workout and significantly impacting my battery life as I do strength training 6-7 days a week. Is it happening to anyone else?
I've had issues with treadmill and indoor biking that turns on gps. Another thread mentioned 3rd party watchface that obtains weather data but I believe it may be a bug on garmins end. A user on there stated that the code for watchface does not have access to gps. I will be testing some indoor activities tonight using garmins watchface.
It will be the watchface .. I had this issue with treadmill runs. if you remove all your 3rd party watchfaces and go to stock ones (or use a basic face like one out of the grunge series) you will not have this issue.
I contacted Garmin about this and they told me to contact the maker of the watchface and that it wasn't a bug on their side hahaha. To be honest, I think the watch devs are following what Garmin tell them to do and there is an issue on the Garmin side, there was a beta update for the fenix 5 series that addressed this issue - go figure
