Hello, after the recent update to 16.22 my tactix 7 pro ballistics seems to randomly reboot whenever it feels like it. The few times I've noticed it, it also appears to be updating the maps before / after the occurrence. Is this a known issue with a solution or is a rollback required?

How do I remove the solar graph from a non standard watch face on my Tactix 7? I don't see any options for it?
To edit the watch face:

The workaround of…
No. this is the anticipated Public release. The time frame that was given was between now and early June. Fortunately they were able to roll this out even faster than expected.
