Hello Fenix 5X users,

We have new beta software ready for your upcoming adventures!

Fenix 5X: http://www8.garmin.com/support/downl...s.jsp?id=11665

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.

7.10 Change Log Notes:
  • Fixed an issue where ConnectIQ watch faces would intermittently fail to load from the watch face selection menu.

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


Please note that the public beta's are intended for non-APAC devices only.
  • Still got that IQ error on my watch face..... email sent to the beta team.
  • The pool swim activity bug is still here but i found exactly what doesn't work: the interval length doesn't match interval distance, more precisely interval length is always 1 length behind from interval distance; for example when interval distance shows 25m interval length shows 0 until you press lap or stop, than interval length shows correctly 1. So interval length data field doesn't work as it should. I think that with all this information it isn't so difficult to fix.
  • Still got that IQ error on my watch face..... email sent to the beta team.


    All fixed, all I had to do was uninstall and install the face again.
  • strange thing but looks like 5x from 7.00 started to be crazy with floors counting. 2-3 times more than real. Usually i'm doind upstairs 15-17 floors per day and before 7 5x counted them more or less correct. Now i do all the same but have 25-35 floors per day:-0.
    By the way, i surprised by it, my Iphone is counting floors absolutelly exactly each day
  • Installed 7.10 and have a bug I've never seen before. My watch shows that it is not connected to my phone, but on the phone I can see the Fenix 5x is connected via bluetooth. Alerts have stopped showing up on my phone. Opening up the garmin connect app shows that the watch is also not connected and unable to sync.

    It did connect properly immediately after installing 7.10 and took a day or so for this to start. I've rebooted the device and my phone a few times without luck.

    I was able to wifi sync from the watch.

    Just had the same issue. Switching Bluetooth on/off - rebooting watch - restarting GCM didn’t fix. Reboot of phone resolved it. Possibly more of a GCM problem ?

    IOS 11.2.1
  • Unfortunately rebooting both devices didn't solve the issue for me. I read in another 7.00 post about someone having a similar problem and using garmin express to solve it. So I followed what they did and synced via wire/express. It did a map update as well.

    When the watch came back up it still wasn't connected, but this time (and I checked each time) the watch was not connected on bluetooth at the phone. I manually started the connection from the phone and ran connect. Started right up and has been connected for about 30-45 minutes now.
  • Randomly disconnects from android phone. Repaired observing.
  • First time out on a hike with this beta version and encountered a few issues:

    Auto pause seriously laggy, used this function on previous beta and public release versions and not had this issue. Initially the watch failed to recognise I was actually moving for the first 500m, I had to cycle through a few pause/restarts of the hike. During the hike it was quick to pause but very slow to restart.... this happened on several occasions.

    Acquiring satellites, this took an age, again on previous versions it snapped to the satellites in seconds, this time it took around 5 minutes or more.

    During the hike I was walking through a wood, no canopy cover as it's winter here, and I lost satellite signal.... this has never happened before installing 7.10 beta.

    PS. Email sent to beta team

    What phone make, model, and OS are you using along with your 5x?
