We are rolling out SW v27.10 for the Forerunner 165 series, which addresses the data dropout issues described in this thread. You can manually download this software update by selecting Menu > System >…

Wow, thank you so much !
I was able to download it and I will try downgrading to that version this evening
Thank you for the instructions as well, it doesn´t seem complicated at all.
At this point I just don´t understand why garmin doesn´t just make an update with the last bug free firmware version.. seems too easy to fix it.
But if they let us down at least the community is great so cheers to you !
I've also some issues Garmin FR265
The GPS is not working, the sleep tracking is not working, and the wrist heart rate is either working or not working. The watch is slowing down, and the battery has gone from 86% to 9% overnight.
Do you have information where to download old firmware for FR265?
