CR2032 + DL2032

Can anyone shine a light to the problem im having with this battery.
In my Garmin HR monitor i have a CR2032 but everytime i go to use it(the last 3 days) it doesnt pair with my 800 so i bought some DL2032's(duracell), when i take the old one out i leave it for a few minutes before putting in the new one nothing happens but when i put the old one back in after waiting a few minutes it pairs with the 800.
To me the old one seems to be running out, but i cant for the life of me figure it out.

Ive done all that, i can get it to work but only if i take out the CR battery and leave it a bit and then put it back in again, but it doesnt work the same way with the DL.

Then try a CR2032?

Thats what i read to find out what to do, but it doesnt explain the battery issue.

I'd guess that the issue is the DL2032. Some devices are choosy when it comes to batteries even when they are exactly the same thing.

Example: Power2max power meters(to the extent where P2M stock a specific battery), wouldn't surprise me if Garmin devices were the same.
