Best Firmware Overall - Epix Gen 2

I'm on 17.28 and have no issues (only use it for running and weights).

Thanks

19.42, the last firmware that works flawlessly for me.

I am not aware of significant issues with the latest software (which fixed the bluetooth connection bug for me) at least for my Epix pro 42mm.

I use it mainly for running (including listening to spotify), HIIT (including pre-programmed garmin connect workouts), Weightlifting, and general health metrics (wear it 24/7).

Have switched to an Edge bike computer for cycling since February (after some crashes of my epix during rides and because I was annoyed that DI2 buttons don't work with the epix, also wanted a new gadget tbh.).

However, I always wear an HRM Pro chest strap (thus, I have stopped tracking the multiple threads about potential heart rate mismeasurements).

20.22 is working fine for me since last week, when i connect the watch to Garmin Express and downloaded some map updates, before was doing rare things, the HR measurements are fine, as was in 19.41, i noticed that 20.22 has improved a lot the sleep score feature and training readiness, and now yes, the external sensors are listed

I was cautious about moving from 19.41 to 20.22, but I made the jump and haven't noticed any problems with walking,  trail running and indoor biking. General daytime and overnight stats all seem fine too.

However, I pretty much always use a chest strap, even for walking, so I would be unaware of any issues with the OHR during exercise. Also, I use Stryd when running, so I would not be aware of distance/pace issues. But battery life is great and everything works as expected for my use cases.

Walking OHR, very good

i can confirm that the OHR is working fine, as was with 19.41, maybe little bit more responsive, so improved overall

yes
