The B2 heart rate monitor is only accurate when standing still. Its pretty useless when doing exercise in my opinion. In my Daisy watch I display the heart rate value in white if the confidence value is over 50% and red if less than 50%. When exercising I have to stop running to read the heart rate with a confidence value greater than 50%. Its quite a while since I have played with my Bangle 1 - but seem to remember the HRM was a lot more reliable on a B1 and did not have this problem.
Until this gets fixed, needs some real focus and some form of test harness, B2 is not going to be able to claim its a fitness watch.
I think HRM device works poorly when low on battery.
I've seen changes in the latest version of the run app, the notifications ! That's a nice idea. As often, it brings me ideas, to which I will add a few older things.
Btw, I criticize a lot as, constructively as possible, but hey, big up to the bangle.js 2 ! Even with a few drawbacks, I now prefer running with it rather than with my Garmin forerunner 220, which is only dedicated to running but full of purposefully designed limitations. I don't tell how much proprietary software sucks, it's all clear to everyone. @Gordon, you defeated the opponent here and surpassed my expectations. Well done. And thanks to the community also !
