I received my instinct 3 Solar 50mm today.
As delivered, only 16.4 megabytes are free.
Express refused the update to 6.28 with an error message. Not enough free memory (the update has 16.5 megabytes).
I have carried out an unpromoted reset. Express then downloaded the update file to the watch. Including the gupdate file, 96 kbytes were still free.
After the update to 6.28, I now have 12.7 megabytes of free memory with the new watch.
Is that normal? Can someone please check his free memory?
