The details given for the change log are just a bit underwhelming don't you think? Can we get a little more detail besides "Misc. Bug Fixes" and "Music Improvements"?

+1 !

Soon we’ll probably see change logs along the lines of «Thank you for using Garmin. We are continuosly impro...blablablal» just like most updates in Apple’s App Store. (Including Garmin Connect!)

Interval pace and interval swolf are still not visible during swimming, i can't believe i have a 700€ watch and i have to use my old 100€ garmin swim watch! I think that that soon i'll sell this jumble of bug, i'll keep my Suunto 9 and i will be done with garmin, simply it's not conceivable to have a watch steadily in alpha state (if it would be in beta it would be just wonderful!)

Amazing.
With Garmin Fenix 5 Plus, apparently i don't sleep, like never, i run 10% less than with any other watch (....mh, maybe it's too heavy on my wrist?????), and when i play golf i miss the swing (it registers one every some).
Nice job guys, and the customer service who replies to me as if i'm a fool (despite i owned exactely 9 Garmin in my life......).
Ridicolous.

"Other misc. bug fixes."

Come on Garmin. This isn't a production firmware release - it's a beta for testing purposes. How are we meant to beta test for you if you won't tell us what we're testing?

The sleep tracking bug where the watch shows twice the amount of sleep is still there. It used to work perfectly until some update, currently I have to edit the sleep start time manually every day.

How broken can the algorithms be to recognize time periods where over 70 percent of the time spent wearing it is movement with elevated heart rates, how is this sleep?
The battery fuel gauge is still broken and also shows garbage.

My Fitbit which costs 1/5 of the price always got this right. It is unacceptable for a product that is designed for serious athletes to be so fundamentally broken with regards to simple features.

Seriously, several months have passed since launch and things are only slightly improved (with 1 official update only).

Music player does not see manually added songs. There is no other Music provider, rather than Deezer. If it is deleted, then no providers at all and device wants me to download music apps from store. Have you ever tried to add music manually and test it? It worked before.
