 Subject: More garminSo I have been experiencing HRM dropouts, pretty much around 45 minutes for the past 6 rides or so. Different straps, using gels no shirt new battery. I have a Scosche in my Amazon cart and am getting really close to pulling the trigger on that. I have not uploaded to Garmin Connect in a long time, a few months. Now I have W10, I have updated the express software and still am getting the same problems. On the laptop the device sees the stick a few seconds and stops. On the desktop it sees the stick and starts to sync, it give me a red bar saying there is an error. I try different things and nothing. Now here is the kicker, I cannot turn off the 910xt, it's stuck on the Data transfer screen...nothing is working I am extremely frustrated and pissed. IT seems that Garmin brings out something new every few years and their old stuff starts to "fail" So before I do anything I was looking for suggestions here, anyone seen these problems or have advice? I was looking at the Edge 520 to put on my bike and am really starting to second guess Garmin products Joe |

I did a reset and got the data to transfer. My smarty 15 year old said....bet you wish you had that Coffee when you got up I guess I just needed to vent |

Only drawback with the scosche is remembering to charge it but I do both the 910 and it at the same time, usually once or twice a week. |

 643   | Subject: RE: More garmin I sold my 910 last year but I remember having to do a reset on it 1-3 times a year. Try this (copy/paste from another site):
As for the transfer issue. Hopefully that works. If not, try deleting all old activities. The one it does by default should be fine (anything older than a month). When my 910 was getting full, it performed worst and worst. If you really want those older activities, I had to do the "transfer all" or whatever setting it was called. It would send every single activity on a sync. This took forever but it would normally solve the issue where it kept skipping random workouts. Again, deleting old activities every so often really helped mine behave better and makes the time you need to sync all way faster. Edited by Blastman 2016-06-23 9:19 PM |

Regular 694 Tucson, AZ | Subject: RE: More garmin I don't think the Optical HR in their current form are a replacement for HRM. As a professional, I depend very highly on HR data but not so much for a lot of my steady workouts. Optical works ok for steady workouts but it does not work for any sort of workouts that tend to be variable. My Optical HR is built into my Garmin 735xt (this is my 4th different optical)and I use when I can, but if I want true data and rely on it, I am still using the Garmin strap. With that being said, straps do wear out and need to be replaced, I have at least 2 dead ones. It is hard to imagine a tougher environment than an HR strap, constant moisture and salt. At $45, I find a once a year replacement of the Garmin Soft Strap to be an ok deal: http://amzn.to/28UHRx5 |
