I think fenix 5 connected to my moisted HR strap in my bag.

No issues re-connecting to my sensors after this update (HRM-Tri, Power-tap pedals, Tacx Neo). I also didn't lose my alarms, but they were all reset to Vibration & Tone from Vibration only. Kind of a rude awakening this AM

My HRM-TRI doesn't appear in the sensor list but connects and works fine. It can't find anything new if I try to pair it

My Fenix shipped without a cable so it hasn't been updated yet, getting it next week, but until then I noticed something very odd:

Software version: 2.00
GPS: 4.30
WiFi: 2.30
CIQ: 2.2.3
WHR: 20.03.19

Based on what I read in the 2.72 beta thread and in this thread, how is my GPS at 4.30 when it should be 4.22 or lower?

Wifi??

I wished Garmin had enabled WiFi on the non-Sapphire F5 with this firmware update.
As WiFi is now not only part of the Fenix 3 but also the 100$ cheaper FR935 offer, it no longer makes much sense to withhold it on the F5 from a product portfolio point of view (i.e. as an incentive to buy the Sapphire). It's just confusing now to pay more for certain features only to give up other ones.
