    Swipe up / down has gone back to where you immediately see the date and the edit button. (As opposed to having to swipe a 2nd time). Several folks had complained about this but I don't remember which thread it was in. Slight smile

    Are fixed reboots during workouts?? Someone with this problem updated to this beta?

    Another problem is connecting to the wifi network. Error 030 pops up: / deleted the network and added again, no effect. In the router logs, I know that the watch is temporarily connected to the network.

    I tested it a bit today after updating to 4.60, hardreset and new setup, including and new sensor update, maybe for pulseox. And so far, so good. 

    Did a health snapshot and PulseOX was 97%, just like on my medical device. Using it before on snapshot for 2min it was always around 90-95% and never on par with my medical pulse meter. 

    Scrolling is definitely more fluent. Not perfect but faster. 

    Sleep was a mess. It said I woke ups at around 6am when I was just a bit awake, toilet walk and falling asleep again several minutes later. But I experienced it took sleep quite a few days to actually be reliable before too. 

    GPS fix is quick again. First fix after reset took around 10-20 seconds. Before it was even faster but then suddenly took 5min and sometimes not finding a fix. Common problem. Not today though. Only GPS walk is not as accurate as before though. I don't know if it is because it is just GPS, no Glonass/Galileo. Have to test that. But I had some lines through garden and houses which I haven't had before. It was way more accurate but I did use GPS combo setting before, now only GPS. 

    So far, so good. Will test it more. Still my Fenix 6s Pro will stay my primary watch.

    I'm seeing the same thing.

    Wifi connection tests fine after adding, but subsequent connection attempts fail.

    I saw that before and was able to resolve it by removing & re-adding the network.

    No problems here with Wifi, maybe because I did a hardreset?

    I made a series training and no reboots!! TadaTada

    Auto-save increased to 30 minutes is great even if the option "Save and resume later" would be so useful.

    Thanks for continuous improvement.

    Ok, I did a factory reset on version 4.60. Unfortunately it didn't help with wifi connection, still doesn't work. I decided to go back to the previous stable version and wifi works fine on this version. The conclusion is that version 4.60 is problematic. I think Garmin should look more into that.

    Please turn off Auto Save. And insert Continue later.
