Hello Fenix 5/5S/5X Plus users,
We have new beta software ready for your upcoming adventures!
After you install the 10.71 beta, your device will be able to update to the latest GPS software automatically. The new GPS version is 2.60. You have to update to system software 10.71 first, as this will make your device compatible with the new GPS software. You will be able to download the v2.60 GPS via Express immediately after updating to 10.71; or the update will be sent to your watch within 24-48 hours via Over The Air update from the GCM app.
Note: Please allow for the updates to propagate across all servers. There is no need to post that the link does not work. It will after a bit of patience.
