FW 20.75+ has fixes to backgrounding for Fenix 6 devices.

Fenix 6 with background app watchface doesn't update

A user has reported my watchface doesn't work with his Fenix 6 but does with his Vivoactive 3. So, he's been helping me debug it a bit and it appears that after the background process (which does a webRequest) calls Background.exit(data), the app's onBackgroundData() method isn't called, until something else, like a smart notification, happens on the watch.

He sees the same behavior with both firmware 9.0 and 10.10 on the Fenix 6. I don't see this problem on the simulator and this is the first report I've received about it.

    It should not be necessary to open another issue. Since we usually test on multiple devices besides the devices given in the report. This helps us determine whether the issue should go to the device team, or to the CIQ Engineering team.
