I need to blow some life into this. Did Garmin actually throw in the towel? Hardware insufficient? It's a bloody shame that such a major product could not to such a basic thing...

Garmin? Stages? Anyone?

Old 310XT, used it for years with powertap and no problems. New Stages. Use it with the Sufferfest App without problems.
Dropping data like crazy on the Garmin.

Solutions?

1. New Receiver
2. New Sender
3. Install on the bars (always had the receiver on the wrist)

Of course it hurts. The trick is not minding it hurts.

Alternatively, if you still want to have your data on a watch you can upgrade to a BT smart compatible one like I did and pair your stages using BT smart instead of ANT+.

I'm using a Forerunner 935 and have no more issues, and I assume all the Fenix 5 line will be the same.
