I’ve had the same problem since the beginning. Sometimes the notification disappears immediately, sometimes after a long time, and sometimes only manually pressing the crown helps.

@Adrian.S I think, at the minimum, this requires changing the lock function so that the watch can be operated under the lock but without the risk of pausing, stopping, or rebooting it. We should be be able to fully use the map and climb guidance under the lock. But perhaps an alternative solution is to move the reboot function to another button that is less likely to be pressed (not sticking out like Start), or requiring a combination of two buttons. or extending the duration of how long it needs to be pressed to reboot.

@matram, my watch is not that old, and before the new firmware, everything was working perfectly.

@krad801 there is no way to set the watch for GPS altitude only. If you find such a setting in the app, it is used for activities recorded with the app directly. Otherwise with the watch on a bike, there sometimes can be wind affecting the barometric sensor. Maybe this was the case for you.

@peegee you need “Veneto”

@matram this is golden, thanks. I’ll add it to the suuntoplus skill I’ve been working on. I’m trying to aggregate all knowledge about hardware limitations and things that docs or examples don’t cover. Perhaps I should open source it? There are plenty of quirks I’ve stumbled upon, like colors on MIP displays - for example if the color is too dark - it’ll be rendered as black. Or the issue of “back on track” that I’m fighting with currently.

No, but I am using Polar H10. Have you verified that the Garmin belt is really used, i.e. the green heart icon has a band over it when you start the exercise? Rarely with my Race S it happens that the optical sensor is used even if I am wearing the belt. In that case HR can look peculiar initially especially if the watch is not snug on the wrist.
