  • I just have checked, that the old bug https://youtu.be/P_AFXksXPPs was corrected. I did not check it since the version 12.00, so I do not exactly know when it was corrected, but it is not a problem anymore. Halleluiah!

  • First time I've seen serious problems with a beta version. I've been hiking today with my fully charged Instinct just updated to 16.41. Everything seemed to work as expected during the hike. After about 7.5km I've paused the activity for a lunch break. After resuming the heart rate was constantly between 150 and 170 bpm instead of 100 like before. Uploading the track at home clearly showed the heart rate jump but even worse most of the recorded track was seriously broken. Seems I was teleported several 100km to the south to Frankfurt and stayed there for most of the time. The recording via komoot (iPhone) is perfectly fine. Normally it's the other way around - bad iPhone recording and perfect Instinct recording.

    If necessary I can provide fit file and komoot recording.
