  • 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?


    When you install the beta, there are three different folders with separate sensor hub update file for each of the three 5 Plus variants. Are you absolutely sure that you took the file from the correct folder out of the three?
  • connected to elite drivo's powermeter via ant+ and it displayed 20000w spikes....
  • when will the next version (with fixed battery drain problem) be available? Since three weeks no new versions here.

    Even if will be a new release it's not guaranteed they will fix battery meter issue, rather, knowing Garmin, i think it's very unlikely....
  • I went to bed with 20% and woke up and the watch was dead.
