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.

10.55 Change Log Notes:

Fixed an occasional issue where the displayed lengths or distance during a pool swim could briefly show incorrect values.
GPS FW (2.24) should improve pace accuracy for running/walking activities and track performance for open water swimming activities.

Our public beta users are encouraged to load the new GPS firmware and use it for their next activities. If there are any activities where the GPS performance did not improve, we would like to see them. This also includes if comparing to previous activities. To send data to us for evaluation, please include the following in an email to [EMAIL="[email protected]"][email protected][/EMAIL]:

FIT file(s) from Garmin\Activity folder
- FIT files from previous activities if comparing same routes
GarminDevice.XML from the Garmin folder
Subject line of email must use the following format: ‘Fenix 5 Series - GPS 2.24 Evaluation - DATE_ForumUserID_ActivityType’ (ex. "20180823_odsweng_Walk")

Following these instructions will ensure your email and files are delivered and sorted correctly. Lastly, you will not get an email reply unless we need more information from you, but rest assured, the data sent will be evaluated.

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.

Now we have one more variable...
I wonder if battery consume can be related in separate to firmware and or GPS version.
People are complaining about battery and accumulated ascent on 10.55 with whatever GPS version.
Than we have GPS 2.30 a part.

I'm happy with battery and total ascent 10.51 and GPS 2.20.
Can somebody tell what changed from 10.51 to 10.52?

Just realizing I'm not getting any notifications while I'm in activity, none of my texts or phone calls come through. Usually, I have the option to pick up while on a ride, but now, I get home from a ride to a bunch of missed calls and texts. Anyone else seeing this?

Nope not me, all working, sometimes a reset on the watch will clear them all and get it working again.....
