upgraded from 7.6 to 7.93 & all seems to be working
love the design on the alt time zone widget but as a suggestion maybe add remaining daylight hours to the sunrise widget?
connectivity seems restore in 7.93

Same issue after installing 7.93b as when I upgraded to 7.60, my max HR has changed from 187 to 207. (201 when I upgraded to 7.60)
Very sad reading after a high pace spinning session and readings for anaerob/aerob is 0.0/2.6. Should have been at least 2.6/4.2 compared to similar sessions.
Annoying that settings are changed after a sw upgrade. I know this is a beta sw, but 7.60 was final release and changed settings as well.
If I have to check every personal settings every time a new sw comes around it will be a big drawback. MANY personal setings to check. Is it only me having this issue?

My Huawey P10 lite with fenix 5 still does not connect with the active location services.

Since update to 7.93 my weather widget is always stuck on 'waiting for data'.
Have tried restarting watch and phone several times. (iPhone X, Fenix 5)
