The only change in v9.75 is a bug fix for an issue in v9.74 that could cause wildly inaccurate values (distance, speed, etc) in activity summary results. Since v9.74 was taken down quickly because of this bug, I've repeated the v9.74 change log notes here.

9.75 Change Log Notes:

  • Fixed an issue where the device was generating malformed FIT files.

9.74 Change Log Notes:

  • Added support for ClimbPro 'Climb Detection' setting in Cycling. (Bike > Activity Settings > ClimbPro > Climb Detection) This allows the customer to customize grade 'sensitivity' when identifying climbs.
  • Improved ClimbPro for cycling by adding category coloring to the ascent graph, which better depicts the difficult portions of the climb. This will also be available when reviewing the elevation plot for a course.
  • Added support for uploading golf scorecard and ephemeris files over Wi-Fi.
  • Fixed an issue where the device could register a speed spike during Ski activities.
  • Fixed an issue where long activity names could be truncated in some languages after upload.
  • Fixed an issue with proximity pairing a dual mode sensor.
  • Brought in improvements for CIQ media apps.
  • Made other code improvements and bug fixes.

Please note, the beta updates released on these forums are not suitable for APAC region devices.

Please send all bug reports to [email protected], and indicate which model of the fenix 5 Plus series you have in the subject line.
