    Garmin is currently doing "phased rollouts" for production releases on the Fenix 5 devices. This allows Garmin to ensure that the firmware doesn't have any undetected issues as they gradually release the update to more and more devices.

    As of this message, the firmware has been made available to 20% of the registered devices. If it's not available to you right now then you aren't part of the first 20% and will have to wait a fit longer. Typically, the new firmware is made available to all devices within a few days at most.

    Cheers,
    Douglas
  • I think better if they enable for 100% users via webupdate , because I don't like to wait I would like to do workout with new version ;-) anyway will be some bug ;-)
  • So by jumping from 7.x to 8 does this mean a major firmware release? The release notes did not seem very major. Is it normal with other changes not included in these notes?
  • I believe this is will be major release ,because they introduce new widget . I already tested in version beta 7,93 nice , but nothing big new like stressscore or training 2.0

    Doubt it. Full public releases are x.y0. Internal releases and public betas have 1-9 for the last digit. 7.9x beta releases mean they had to go to 8.0 next, as they don't use numbers like 7.100 or 7.120. If it had jumped from 7.25 straight to 8.0, that would look like a major release.

    "Sensor hub 5.80 is being rolled out at the same time."

    Hopefully the new sensor hub update may help with some of your's and some others issues.
    It would be useful to know what improvements have been implimented in 5.80 before we update though.
    Happy flying :-)
