I was not reporting a bug...

So, if the watch shows 12.51 it meas that the link reports a wrong (non-existen?) version number and changelog. Only to be clear.

since trying to update to 12.21 (watch still shows 12.51). my barometric trend icon is always showing "straight then up". doesn't matter if the pressure is going down or up.
when you calibrate the altimeter you have reset the barometric trend icon to "straight" then the air pressure is falling in the widget and the icon shows "straight then up" again.
anybody else notice the same thing?

Garmin has rolled back the beta software version to include the changes below. This version addresses a higher than expected battery drain for some devices. This version does not include the changes in 12.51. If you are already on 12.51, you will not need to back date to 12.21 unless you are experiencing high battery drain.

Important: Back dating from 12.51 to 12.21 will trigger a factory reset on your fenix.

Changes made from version 12.00 to 12.21:

Fixed an intermittent issue where the device would display an incorrect sensor error message.
Fixed an issue where some devices were reporting a higher than expected battery drain.

Weird that worried about inflated floors on an activity, yet when I do a stair sprint session and do closer to 400 flights my floors climbed for the day in connect shows about 12 for the day.

Do You run 400 floors? Maybe something here https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=LJ6vYF2phv7JUAOlsRRjC8

Sorry, but its sounds very stupid, releasing beta 12.51 with bugs, after that releasing 12.30 original??? Why do not do original 12.5*2 ????
