Fenix 5 device recognition

I upgraded to the latest F5 beta, installed the explore app and logged in. I have zero connectivity issues between the F5 and the GC app. However the F5 doesn't show in the device list in the explore app it just says 'No paired devices'.

If I click Pair device is says 'Pair a device with the Garmin Explore app or register a new device' and also 'register device with garmin connect'. If I click that option it fires up the GC app and shows me the device list with the f5 show connected.

Is that it? Everything as it should be?
  • With the 5x it shows as paired and shows the last sync date and time...
