    so beta not sure stable or not

  • Obviously it's not advertised as a stable release, hence the name Beta. 

    Some users are still experiencing BT issues and the Beta might fix that.

  • Thanks for the reply Jim, I've tried multiple times hard reboot except for a full charge. I'll have a try again and let you know soon!

    Cheers,

  • Since 5.00, Garmin Pay doesn't work anymore. I have been in an embarrassing situation when trying to pay as usually but my VA4 watch wasn't able to do it. My sincerely advice to everyone who read it: don't waste your money, don't buy a Garmin! You have been warned... 

  • Yesterday I´ve paid without problem with my vivoactive 4 SW 5.0

  • Now it works for me too... 

  • Did any of you noticed lack of goal streak notifications after update?

    Anyone else having issues with wildly inaccurate calorie counts since this update?

    On Wednesday I walked 8 miles and my watch says I burned 188 calories. Someone of my height, weight, gender, and age should burn about 400 over that distance. Today I walked 4 miles, climbed 26 flights of stairs, and stood all day for a total of 31 active calories. Before the update these counts seemed accurate but now are useless. My tracked workouts are wrong, too. Far too low. Again, this is comparing to months of what my data had been. It’s suddenly all wrong.

    I contacted support and they had me do a hard reset, since they were baffled about what the problem could be. After an hour of setting the watch back up, I’m having the same issues. 4 calories burned on a brisk half mile walk, really? And then those “four calories” vanished from the app, and the estimate went back to what it was before the walk (31).

    And yes, my height and weight are accurate. I haven’t changed my heart rate zones or activity class. Nothing has changed but the software.
