Every once in a while the solar charging stops working. When I restart the watch, it works again for a while.

Here is a video showing it:

Since then I noticed 2 updates in the last few days, was wondering if that is a known bug that was fixed in the latest release. Where can I find the release notes of latest 11.26 firmware?

    I think it's same issue as instinct 2. I'll check if it's still the case now after the latest update, if yes will return it.
