Fenix 5/5s Plus - 6.56 Beta Release

This is the first time I have seen different release notes for the 5X+ and 5S+/5+.

Does this mean that the three first issues in the above list only existed for the 5S+/5+, not for the 5X+?

Or does it mean that the issues existed for all three models, but are not yet solved in the 5X+?

Or does it mean that shouldn't bother reading release notes, because we can't trust them anyway?

I am not sure that the three first bullets are supposed to be there, when following the links the release notes looks like this:

"Changes made from version 6.55 to 6.56:

• Fixed several minor issues with music.
  

[h=4]Changes made from version 6.51 to 6.55:[/h]

• Fixed an issue where one couldn't Race an activity from the activity history menu.
  
• Fixed an issue where the alarm clock status was incorrect when accessed through Power Controls.
  
• Fixed an intermittent issue where the device could crash during an activity.
  
• Fixed several minor issues with music."
  

Is it possible to just install gps firmware (2.50) not the beta software?

Given the immense number of issues registered here the last couple of weeks/months, e.g. about the terrible battery life, tracking accuracy, bluetooth issues and many more I'm really worried about the fact that Garmin only fixed these few issues after months of inactivity on the beta release front. My F5 had its glitches but on the software and especially battery front it was far superior to the plus range. Not sure if I'm at all happy with my 849 euro investment...

Looks like they fixed the voice prompt bug


I don't have any tracking or bluetooth issues, and battery life is good. Yes it's slightly less than my previous F5, but we knew that from the start, and i could still do a 12 hour ultra fine

The battery consumption is quite good in watch mode but the post activity drain
is still here. Yesterday, after finishing my interval training, the battery decreased about 6,5% in the next couple of hours. Very disappointing as we have to charge often in a week with full of GPS activity training.
