How do you downgrade just the hub?

Would be the same way you do the Beta upgrades, except you put the 'old' Sensor Hub file in to the RemoteSW folder. I think the most recent Beta package that has the v2.20 Sensor Hub is the 4.74Beta. Can find them all here:

I'm having to recharge every 2nd or 3rd day. 5.53.

Hi there!

Today, while stopping a bike activity, the watch froze with a grey screen, backlight on and then it rebooted itself. No data was lost.

Hi microcris,

Could you email us at fenix5.beta@garmin? If you plug your watch in to the computer and open the Garmin folder, then the Debug folder, there should be one or two files in this folder. Could you please send these files to us? This will explain to us what happened during the crash you experienced.

Thanks,
Mel

If I wanted to charge this often, I’d get an Apple Watch. Please fix the discharge issue soon!

I think I am having a problem with my watch and a Polar OH1 bluetooth HRM. I am losing the heart rate monitoring for periods of time until I restart the watch. When I am charing the HRM it still pairs with the watch and gives a HR of 0 bpm as you'd expect. Sometimes it does not recover and continues to display 0bpm as shown in this timeline https://connect.garmin.com/modern/daily-summary/brookes2622/2018-10-31/timeline

Anyone else using this combo with this firmware successfully?

Anyone know if the beta team working on the Bluetooth connectivity issues with iOS or should I email them (again) about it? It has to be partially the cause of all the battery life issues people are seeing. If you don't keep the app open it drains your battery pretty significantly. And even if you do keep the app open, it loses connection and must be closed/reopened to re-establish the connection again.

Hi All,

Updated to 5.53 Beta, and now when going to Pulse Oximeter widget, a message comes up "Pulse oximeter version mismatch. Update software."
Connect to Garmin Express... nothing available. Also did a hard reset... Pulse Ox widget still showing the same message.
Any ideas what I should do now?

Are you sure you updated correctly? try again?
