Fenix 5S Plus - Not Receiving Software v18.00

I observe that Fenix 5S Plus has a new update of Software Version 18 since February 24, 2022. (https://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=14315)

I did the update of Garmin Express to Version 7.12.1.0 for a month. I keep waiting of this update to deploy to my Fenix 5S Plus. Unfortunately, I still do not get the update of Software Version 18. My Fenix 5S Plus now is still running on Software Version 17.10.

Any issue of deploying Software Version 18? How can I get the update of this Software Version 18? I hope that the fix of WiFi issues in Software Version 18 will improve battery drain issue.

I have confirmed v17.10 is the most up to date software for the APAC model.

Countries outside of SE Asia were updated with version 18.00 on February 24th, 2022 only 1 day prior to SE Asia receiving version…

Yep... Your provided link is for APAC region and it is the old version. However, my Fenix 5S Plus APAC now is running on Software Version 17.10. It is interesting to know whether Garmin will release Software Version 18 for Fenix 5 Plus APAC Series.

But that's a completely different question and only Garmin can answer that!

Countries outside of SE Asia were updated with version 18.00 on February 24th, 2022 only 1 day prior to SE Asia receiving version 17.10 the very next day on February 25th, 2022. The software numbers do not always align for SE Asia watches.
