New Beta or Production Firmware?

Former Member over 5 years ago

Anyone know when the next firmware version (either beta or production) will be released? I understand that 8.02 has had quite a few issues and it's been over a month.

Nope...they're either working on a big update or they've given up!

I think you need to give Garmin a bit more slack, it’s only been a month since the last update. No member here is going to know.

I want them to assign the team that does firmware for the FR245 to the 5 Plus series!

I bought my wife a FR245 a month ago. She's on her second charge cycle and it's basically 5% per day in smartwatch mode with 24H HRM and activity tracking... According to the product page, she should be getting 7 days max!

I wonder if they will post on this thread with an update...

Other companies like suunto or polar only push one or two updates a year. not sure garmin's more frequent approach leads to better software

Great question but I can assure you nobody on this forum knows. I even doubt that the Garmin mods know. But they won't tell anyway...
