Fenix 5X issues with v20.00

Former Member over 5 years ago

Experiencing a lot of issues with v20.00

battery draining faster when using 3rd party watch faces from Connect IQ.
watch became slower - 2-3secs delay when pressing button to enter menu.
bluetooth connection with phone drops out frequently.
Watch doesn’t automatically connect to phone anymore when coming back into bluetooth range again.

why does Garmin call it v20.00 BETA and forces watch to update? Would prefer to keep a version until new version has been properly tested?!

Please update your Fenix 5X with Garmin Express to update the Display to version 3.40. You can see your software versions going to Settings > About.

Please refer to both sticky threads at the very top…

Confirm these issues with v20.00 on my 5x (battery drain and 3-5secs delay when pressing buttons). Hope Garmin will fix that as soon as possible.
