Up to you. Read through the forums and see if there's anything in the latest public release (v6.0) that might affect you. I'm currently on 6.58b and happy with it. Well apart from some strange open water swim experiences but they've been ongoing anyway.
So I updated, guess I am a little nervous about the battery life issue people are having.That is a pretty hefty thread...but not everyone with the watch can be experiencing the issue right? ...right?
Yup. Correct. But there's little agreement about whether that issue is related to firmware updates or not.
The battery life thread is indeed pretty hefty, but not all the posts are from people with problems. It would be interesting to work through the thread (I have no intention to do so) to find out how many individuals have posted about problems, as opposed to how many times individuals have posted about the problem.
Update or not... doesn't matter... it's software full of bugs what will never change with Garmin. I would send it back as long as you can get your money back.
Wow...was not expecting that...I’m not about to send it back cos of software. I’m happy enough so fat and I’m only two days on of use. And that’s with the over use of a new watch, the whole ooh what’s that and what’s that sort of mentality. Unless something major goes wrong this watch is staying with me.
Yeah I get that. And I’m the same with Garmin...used their watches for I’d say over 5 or 6 years. Took a brief detour into Suunto...didn’t like it came straight back to Garmin after 4 days...
