Is it worth upgrading to 16.22 if you are still on 15.77?

Hi,

I've switched off automatic upgrade in my watch and when new firmware become from beta i'm waiting for service pack. and i see now that are many claims on 16.22.

on my Fenix 7pro ss i have battery drain and want to have lap undo as feature. all others looks ok for me.

1. Is it worst to upgrade for 16.22 now?

2. how Garmin usually do? can i expect "service pack" which might fix current bugs on 16.22 to be released soon? like new update of current 16.22 with fixes.

Hum, difficult to say

15.7x was not a good/stable version

16.2x is equivalent or worse for those that encounter boot loop, freeze, restart during activity

I'm testing 17.10Beta, i'm enthousiat but we have to wait for the end of the beta phase.

---

regarding the complaints about 16.22, maybe we could receiver a minor version to quick fix some of them

but i'm not confident with this hypthesis because new beta phase was started quickly, before the start of the Q2 ...

Yes. I, like I suspect the many thousands who don’t post here, are using it without problem.

Skip it and wait for more stable/better version. Update only if you must have one of the new features and will not be annoyed with bugs that some people (quite a few) have after update to 16.22.

i moved to stable 16.22 from 15.77 and i can say battery drain is higher . Stability is ok , no concerns. Battery which could go on for 2 weeks have recuded to max 10 days - puirely comparing based on my usage.

i'm on 16.22 (been on that beta cycle since it began, but stayed on the 16.22 and didn't get on the current beta cycle) without any issue at all on my F7pro SS.
