I hope there are some under-the-hood updates that aren't listed here, since this change log is less than unimpressive.

Only this fix? You have a lot of problems to solve, and you only fix this?

I just got myself a VA4, my VA3 died on me last month. new battery with full charge won't last for more than 5 hours. I'm quite reluctant to upgrade the SW as this was what happened to my VA 3 after 7.20 SW.

New major version and only "Resolved intermittent playback issue with Spotify music"???? It's against programming policy ;)

When you see something like this, a common fix is to simply fully charge the device and reboot it. On the va3, hold the button for maybe 20 seconds until the watch turns itself off and then turn it back on. On the va4, it's the upper button.

after u update let us know the improvement

0 Martin over 4 years ago in reply to Former Member

I'm not updating because I don't have bluetooth issues.

Usually Betas are posted in the forums by Garmin Blake but this one hasn't been published yet.
