Yeah that's still quite a big leap though in terms of GNSS chip!
> I might try setting the 255 to “all systems” rather than multi-band and see if it makes any noticeable difference (I think I was actually conflating these options in my mind anyway and misunderstanding what multi-band referred to.)
Maybe but the epix 2 pro actually does have multi-band for some reason! Honestly I was just interested in your experience as I can't quite work out what multi-band would add to a recreational device, so was wondering if you had some insight I'd missed.
> It’s also possible that there was just something about my local area that was causing issues with data reliability - I used to get 100s of metres of ascent recorded per km on my usual weekday route along a flat seafront promenade with no nearby hills, so something wasn’t happy! I’ve since moved house but presume that would be resolved now one way or another, even if just because the 255 has a barometer.
Yeah I used to have similar issues with older watches - glad that it's fixed now though!
