Hello Fenix 5X Plus users,

We have new beta software ready for your upcoming adventures!

Fenix 5X Plus: https://www8.garmin.com/support/down...s.jsp?id=14335

Note: Please allow for the updates to propagate across all servers. There is no need to post that the link does not work. It will after a bit of patience.

4.65 Change Log Notes:
  • Fixed issue where ANT sensor data would drop during an activity when connected to a Bluetooth 5.0 smartphone (ANT/BLE/BT 2.91 software).
  • Improvements to the Music Player.
  • Various bug fixes.
**Update** GPS FW 2.24 has been added to the download links above. Our public beta users are encouraged to load the new GPS firmware and use it for their next activities. If there are any activities where the GPS performance did not improve, we would like to see them. This also includes if comparing to previous activities. To send data to us for evaluation, please include the following in an email to [EMAIL="[email protected]"][email protected][/EMAIL]:
  • FIT file(s) from Garmin\Activity folder
    • FIT files from previous activities if comparing same routes

  • GarminDevice.XML from the Garmin folder
  • Subject line of email must use the following format: ‘Fenix 5+ Series - GPS 2.24 Evaluation - DATE_ForumUserID_ActivityType’ (ex. "20180823_odsweng_Walk")
Following these instructions will ensure your email and files are delivered and sorted correctly. Lastly, you will not get an email reply unless we need more information from you, but rest assured, the data sent will be evaluated.

Please note, the beta updates released on these forums are not suitable for APAC region devices.

Please send all bug reports to [EMAIL="[email protected]"][email protected][/EMAIL], and indicate which model of the fenix 5 Plus series you have in the subject line.

    The date bug with CIQ watch faces is still present.

    That is very disappointing. Garmin, please fix the CIQ Date bug. Please.


    After a few hours with v4.65, it appears that the Bluetooth communication between Apple IOS and the 5X Plus has been improved. The app no longer needs to be open on the phone to receive Weather and Calendar data updates.

    I will have to test things a bit further to see if battery life is impacted, if the music feature drops or skips while a Bluetooth connection is established with the iPhone during activity, or of the RD Pod, Foot Pod, or other ANT+ sensors interfere.

    Looks good so far, assuming there hasn't been any other regression, but please fix the CIQ date bug!

    That will make many users happy. :-)

    Beta installed with no problem, testing start now.

    well...instead of a definitive fix for the 935 ows....you're getting this...:D


    Isn't the OWS better with the 2.23 ? Anyway, I'm waiting for FabioSaitta to have a dip ! :-)

    Sorry I checked again, the track with 10.10 and 2.23 was with GPS and GALILEO, the other was with GPS and GLONASS and a previous version of firmware, 1 sec acquisition. I'll post a run with GPS only 10.10 and 2.23 to let you know if there are differences ....

    I'm waiting a sunny day for test either with sea swim on a precise route to compare.

    2.23 is just ok-ish as it still tracks with oddities ;-). but then again, way better compared to 2.20...

    What sort of oddities? I can check mine and see.

    Did you read the text you quoted? If not all of it, then at least the part in red colour.

    No dropout with my HRM-RUN this morning, and the watch synced via bluetooth after the run to my iPhone X for the first time ever without me having to force close and restart the Garmin Connect App. Much better.
