  • This release broke my entire experience. I have lost my watch face, my battery is draining at a 3x rate. How do I roll it back?

  • This update broke my entire experience.  I lost my watch face, the battery drains at a 3x rate. I can’t use connectIQ to fix it as it keeps saying my watch needs to be updated. I’m stuck. Please roll it back

  • Beside resetting my watchface, it also wiped my "OTP Authenticator" App. That means, restoring all my 2-factor authentications from scratch.

    Luckily, I am home; had I been on a business trip, it would have been a major inconvenience. 

  • You can add "Various bugs and Deteriorations" to the list above.

    I'm a Connect IQ developer and I have been receiving hundrets of complaints about lost watch faces during the last 3 days. Not funny!

    Garmin, since you are now also selling Connect IQ watch faces you should start caring about those in your firmware updates.

  • The volume control when playing music is now ruined as well. The round indicator does not change position, and the sound does not go above a certain level. In loud places, you can barely hear what is playing. 

  • here are new issues that appeared after the latest update on my tactix 7:


    - battery drainage (now it kinda 2 days a day)

    - HR sensor was turned off after the update. Expected: HR is turned on as configured

    - start\stop button lights up the display at a 100% level. Expected - 5% as configured

    - turn ON the sleep mode outside the sleep hours, press start stop button - shows a regular watchface, exits the sleep mode. expected: shows a prompt whether to exit the sleep mode or not

    turn OFF the sleep mode when whithin the sleep hours. Actual: sleep mode activates in a while/ Expected: sleep mode not activating itself if turned off

    - Open Settings - >  Format Actual: All the units and preferences areset to default values. Expected: All values are same as I configured.

    - Long press Menu button - Clocks > Back Button. Actual: The watchface is shown. Expected: The previous menu is shown

    - Long press Menu button - Watch Face > Back Button. Actual: The watchface is shown. Expected: The previous menu is shown

    - I ran 4 km, was running with my wife, she has a venu sq2. Satelites mode is set to All. The watch shows I ran 5 km. 

    -  Daily naps are no longer automatically detected. Since 20.22

    - Strobe - Choose Any mode that is not a default one. Turn off the strobe and exit the menu. Open Strobe Again. Actual: A Blink mode is shown. Expected: a mode that i previously used is shown. Since 17.xx or earlier

    - Logs floors climbed when I drive a car. Since 17.xx or earlier

    - you name it

    Garmin, please consider creating a beta for tactix users if you experience lack of QA engineers. OR, please give me my 17.28 and I will stop bothering you and myself. I am with Garmin since the Fenix\Tactix (fenix 1) and what is happening with your software is really sad. 

    Please do consider adding an option to rollback software for tactix users.
