Fenix 5 WiFi 5.3 issue

Hi! After upgrading past 4.10 (it happened in 5.10 and also in 5.30) I have found out the following issue with my WiFi F5:

Enable Activity Sounds in Settings - System - Sounds - Alert Tones (either "On" or "During Activity")
Go back to the watch face, do a WiFi sync
Alert Tones is now disabled

Can anyone confirm this is not just in my watch?

This is a sync issue with Garmin Connect, not a new firmware issue. Are sure your settings on Garmin Connect/ app match the watch

Have a look under your Fenix 5 device settings in Garmin Connect; chances are you are experiencing the long standing one way sync of device settings issue (Garmin Connect to device only).

edit: seems chunkywizard saw this at the same time as me :D

Thanks chunkywizard & Crispin_Ellisdon it was definitely that! Is that still an unresolved issue or do I have any way to fix it and have it sync both ways?

It's unresolved, or Garmin would probably say it's how it's meant to be! It's a bit rubbish if you ask me, just make sure GC/GCM are set the right way as well as the watch.
