Fenix 5S/5 - 9.02 Beta

Hello Fenix 5S/5 users,

We have new beta software ready for your upcoming adventures!

Fenix 5S: http://www8.garmin.com/support/downl...s.jsp?id=11661
Fenix 5: http://www8.garmin.com/support/downl...s.jsp?id=11663

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.

9.02 Change Log Notes:
  • Added Physio TrueUp support. Physio TrueUp syncs activities done on other Garmin devices, allowing your device to more accurately reflect your training status and fitness. Activities from other devices will appear in the Activities menu, and they will update your Totals for Running, Cycling, and Swimming. Your Training Status, Training Load, and VO2 Max will be updated using activities from your other devices, and your Recovery Time will be also updated using data from other devices supporting Physio TrueUp. Enable Physio TrueUp in Settings > Physiological Metrics on the device or in Device Settings on Garmin Connect Mobile.
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, the beta updates released on these forums are not suitable for APAC region devices.

    After a run of 10km this morning with Beta 9.02, I synchronization with G express, Vo2max has been uploaded to GC and GCM as before beta 8.99 (VO2max from runs performed with beta 8.99 have not been recovered in GC and GCM). Training effect of this morning run also uploaded in GC (but not to in GCM...). Training status was uploaded in GC and GCM.
    Seems beta 9.02 corrected the issue of beta 8.99 which didn't upload the VO2max to GC and GCM.


    Yep - I can concur this behaviour is exactly the same as what I am seeing!
  • Cool and how about the other stuff like training load and recovery time? I have a marathon in less than a week so I will have to wait with beta firmware...


    Yep, everything is carried over to the Fenix 5! Good luck with your marathon!
  • Did 2 activties with Edge 820. Sync via Garmin Connect. Calories and recoverytime NOT transferred to my Fenix 5. Only Trainingload and the activity details. Anyone an idee why? Futhermore the All dat stress is different from the 8.00 version. Not stable anymore, and higher toen before
  • BUG: distance of activities is not added to total distance (of day) anymore since fw 9.02. (rechecked this morning with another activity).

    fw 8.99 and before did not have this problem.

    I don't seem to be able to get it to work. I created an activity on my 820, uploaded to connect, synced the watch but no new activity.

    I'm not seeing that.. weird

    Oo and to the two above - I don't think the Edge 820 is included - isn't it the 1030 only?

    Thought - check the day after? I wonder if it's not now added on until next day?

    i checked if it was added the day after (with garmin you never know), but it wasn't. for yesterday i have about 3.5 km but did a 37 km bike ride. anyway, before the distance of an activity was added right after the activity and not the next day.
