So I have a new Instinct 2 Solar which arrived couple of days ago.
Normally I would expect one of the first hings a new device like this would notify me of would be a new software update and install that. But no. Oh well, I figured it was a new device and must have been pre-loaded with the latest release.
To be clear - I left all the update settings alone and see that 'Auto update' is on.
However, I notice in Garmin Connect (on web) this:
So Garmin Connect and the watch both think they are up to date despite a new release showing as available on the web. I assume this is a known bug?
Please note: I do not have a Windows machine so can't simply use Garmin Express.
When I open Garmin Connect on my Android phone, select the Instinct 2 Solar, select System -> Software Update the message there says no update available.
I can see elsewhere on this forum that a manual update using downloaded file and USB cable connection is perhaps possible so I go looking for the latest firmware to download and end up here...
https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?productID=775697&tab=software
... which has no manual download/update instructions and says one must use the Garmin Connect app or Garmin Express.
I see a thread in this forum with a 7.03 software announcement but again, no manual download available.
So how do I get the latest software to install on this when Garmin Connect Android app thinks there is no update available?
