Pool swim activity bug is still here (interval length count is still 1 measure behind interval distance (example: interval distance shows 25m and interval length shows 0; until you press lap, than interval length become equal to interval distance (25m- 1 length)) I also noticed that i can no longer calibrate altimeter after a session of pool swim. When i try to calibrate altimeter, watch say "calbration completed", but altitude remains the same as before. I have to reboot the watch to fix it.

I'm not a skydiver, but holy cow yeah let's fix this:

I hadn't noticed the skydiving bug either lol :-)

Really like the new widgets.
Sun widget has Twilight times,as well as sunset/ sunrise times and a progress colour coded circle line graph that represents the day, with a moving pointer.
Also you can access the sunrise/sunset alerts from the widget,and go backwards and forwards in time which is nice.

Alt time zone widget is a nice feature aswell.
You get fifty odd place zones to choose from and can display up to four at any one time, plus a red marker for your timezone,looks really good and is very functional.::::::::::::::::::::

bug since 7.60 and still present in 7.91 for me is:
No movement of the map loading bar on watch start up.(stagnant bar, remains white.)(dosen't affect functionality and I reported all to Garmin.)

No intensity mins since day after install of 7.60
I will try a factory reset in the next few days.
Thanks for the update.
All the best.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
UPDATE:
Performed a 5x master reset,and Intensity minutes is working again.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Update Intensity minutes has stopped working again after one ( 28:01:18) day, i wish it would remain stable!
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Update Intensity minutes are working again since 30 : 01 : 18? No apparent reason.

Garmin team

Not Sure where to ask/ request this but is it possible to make the running round trip course give the same turn notifications as you get when you use the go to saved location?

Thanks

Passing on this one too: Garmin Italy sent back the same broken watch I sent them 3 weeks ago.

In last update Settings were moved to the bottom of the list or not? I believe, that it was right there after going to Menu. Very annoying to scroll down to the Settings menu when before this one was first after pressing UP-MENU. Currently you go to Watch Faces. Not sure if you can change the order of the elements in the menu.

Maybe they checked it and it wasn't broken ;)
