Garmin Express 7.24 crashes constantly

I'm running Mac OS 15.2. Ever since I got my new Garmin 255S in the fall, whenever I plug iit into my computer, Garmin Express opens and crashes a few times before it finally syncs successfully. Today there was an update to the watch that required probably 7 or 8 relaunches of Garmin Express before it finally got through the update.

When Garmin Express actually launches successfully, it usually syncs just fine. But the crashes are reliably regular.

Same for me. I'm also on MacOS 15.2. It is my 1st install to new laptop. Works on my Windows machine without issue, didn't have any luck run it on Mac yet.
