In this case, it wouldn't help with the report. However, do let us know if you are having experiencing this disruption with the replacement device.

Same here. Have had 3 notifications for software updates the last few days. My device has a WiFi connection. I long press lower right button, settings, software updates and it downloaded directly from WiFi. Reboot. Then go back in to settings, about...8.25. Hopefully no more nags about software updates.

Mine says that 8.27 is the current software version, but it still tries to do a software update every hour. This is becoming very irritating. How do we fix this?

I'm having problems every time I charge the watch. After charging it randomly stops recording any steps, heart beat, everythig except the time of day; so I have no idea until I check. I'm returning the watch... getting a new one. It's crazy.

You do have permission to contact me however, please note that I returned the Vivo 5 and was shipped a new one. The old one is in the process of being mailed back to Garmin.

Hay there having this problem with update 10.20 every hour or two it tells me it's ready to install, I select to install, it runs the course and restarts then later notification that 10.20 is ready to install again. Probably gone through the process 20 times now but doesn't seem to work. Any advice/solution?

Same here. Every time I charge it. And sometimes multiple times a day.
