I have the same issue. Several of my apps are not working due to this issue. My 6x pro shows running version 9.0.

Ive had some success installing the apps by navigating from within the garmin connect app and not directly from the ConnectIQ app. This issue is seen while navigating from the ConnectIQ app.

I had to perform a hard reset in order to resolve the issue. At least even after removing the 6X Pro on the website and computer, all of my data was still there! Of course none of my watch faces and widgets were not saved, but at least my health data is intact.

I had the same issue on my Tactix Delta.

I created a ticket and after replying to 2 of them with additional information they replied that I had to book it for replacement.

Stil no idea what the issue is. But for a watch with this price and it came out of the box with the issue I have booked for a replacment.

What worked for me was to plug the watch into Garmin express and check for updates. It said it was up to date with version 26 but when I clicked on the IQ apps it prompted me to disconnect the watch and follow directions on the watch... which updated the firmware to version 26.

I suspect rebooting the watch may have prompted the update? Anyways, getting it updated to the latest firmware fixed the issue for me.
