Fenix 5x Plus - 6.51 Beta Release

That's why i decided to quit garmin for good. the only version they sell in my region is apac, and with every firmware introducing new bugs, and delay in apac update, i decided enough is enough. i moved on since 2months ago and have never been happier.

While I don't like it being on APAC and that the FWs are slow(er) to be released, but lets face it, you are not that important in the bigger scheme of things. The % of ppl coming to the forums is rather limited and the people who are actually buying these watches are not necessary using it to their full potential (just like our brains :-p)

So.. yeah.. I'm on APAC, I'm (reluctantly in some ways) living with the idiosyncrasies of the Garmin Ecosystem (as like Apple / Google play ecosystem) as much as I can and also because, other platforms has their issues as well (I'm sure) and while Suunto Baro 9 looks great, in terms of feature list, surely a 120hr battery life is not something I need/want vs the flexibility of having CIQ and MAP!!!

Maps is a (to me) a KEY feature which the suunto does'nt have. It's the deal breaker for me in some sense.

Anyways... we heard you & i respect your comment. But for me to quit garmin, and go Wahoo or suunto, it might take a while. (eg: Apple watch one day may just replace the garmin... given time)

Yet, you come on a GARMIN forum, read GARMIN topics and posts and then make a concerted effort to sign in and post...you little rascal you ;D

i'm naughty that way ;) hahaha... neah, to be frank, i have to admit, 5x plus is really good product, let down by unnecessary diversification of apac & non-apac. i have let Heath know of my thought sometime ago to his PM.

i log in to see if there's changes. Maybe one day, when garmin remove all the differentiation, then i'll be back ;)

OX sleep works only from 00 to 04. Do you know if this correct ?

This is great news :-)
Anyone know how long it normally takes for beta to go official?

You can search the forum for the release announcements.

We had three major releases, 4.00, 5.00 and 6.00 on August 10(ish - can't find the announcement), September 27 and November 30. That is 2-2½ months apart.

In each case 1-1½ months went from the first beta release to the major release.

Works for you LTHR when footpod is always on speed /distance? Do you have the same information in watch and Web?/mobile app

Garmin please go official with that beta ASAP, but try not to have all kind of bugs included in it...as usual...:)
