Wrong obscurity flags on FR230?

Is it possible I have obscurity flags wrongly set on my FR230? I am working on DF app ("Negative Split Pacer") and getting different results on simulation and watch.

BTW I have 5.20 FW on my watch but the latest available to download is 5.07 acc. to:

How is that possible?

There have been problems with this for other devices in the past (fenix3, fr630, and fr230), so I would not be surprised if it is a problem for the fr235. I posted some code in this thread to display the obscurity flags as a sanity check.

The key is the last digit. If the FW number ends in something that's not zero (like 5.07) it's a beta version, and you have to download and manually install it yourself.

If it ends in a zero (like 5.20), it's a production release, and will be downloaded for everyone with GCM or GE.
