SW 5.30 not paused?

I was under the impression this update was paused due to bugs, such as the 5 unit weight bug in strength training.

Watch auto updated to 5.30 last night (17/12/20) and now I have the no 0 weight in reps bug. This is highly aggravating.

Is there a way to turn off auto updates?

    Agreed. I reverted to 5.0 and it keeps telling me there is an update available. I say no to the upgrade and then delete the gupdate.gcd file. That works for a few days until the watch recognizes I am at 5.0 and it re-downloads and asks me again.

    Did you try the trick of putting a fake/old/empty gupdate.gcd file? That's what I was going to do if I ever managed to get 5.0 for 4s.

    Yes I did that initially but somehow it did download the update a few weeks ago. So I just started deleting the file when I get the update notice.

    Hi

    Unfortunately, I have the same problem. And honestly, I'm sick of this.

     Despite the file replacement, the situation repeats itself from time to time. The worst thing is that I do not always remember and will not have time to replace the files - then he uploads the update to version 5.1 again

    I'm fed up with a watch from Garmin. The watch was a gift, therefore I cannot return it. However, this is the Garmin company's last watch.

    Same here, won't buy a watch from Garmin again.

    Oh darn, it's a shame that doesn't work, I had such high hopes. They really need the same 'don't install updates automatically' button that Android (and I presume IOS) uses.
