  • when will v16 roll out to APAC?

  • Hi, did anyone test this new software update in surf activity ? Is the wave detection really improved ? When the Beta become final release ? Thx a lot

  • If I install the beta version, when the stable version comes out, will it update itself? or do I have to continue with beta?
    Thank you, wanting to try the surf update, the most expected in a year.

  • I think (and hope) the final version will update automatically.

  • I just perform my watch update to 16.41 beta. Easy update process. Already looks good but I'm waiting for some waves to try the surf app  improvement. 

  • I have already done tests, specifically 3, today was the day with the best weather and surf conditions, that's why I send my assessment.
    I see a great advance, the detection of waves and what it marks on the clock in terms of speeds and distances is good, I do not know if it is perfect, but it is much better, the number of waves coincides more or less, I understand that an exact precision is difficult, but approximate as now.

    There is one thing missing to solve, and that is to represent the waves well in the application and on the map, it does very badly, that has not changed. I upload screenshots comparing the two applications.
    we almost have it!
