ANT/BLE/BT Is at version 5.01. While we have historically used the ending of .00 with our production updates, this will change for some updates moving forward. This is a production update and is not a beta release. 

  • Hi,

    After the latest update, my watch cannot connect to my phone

    Garmin connect mobile version 4.25.2

    Samsung Galaxy note 8 running Android 9

    Edit: fixed it by paring the phone and watch once again

    Got the update this morning. Since then no BT connection. Tried repairing the device. Connecting stalls at about 10% then says pairing failed.

    Connect version 4.25.2

    Android 9

    Edit: was able to connect after removing the watch from the list of known devices on my phone. The pairing still failed (even thought very close to completion) but the watch was connect afterwards. 

  • Same for me with Android 10. Bluetooth off and on helped.

  • Hola:  Alguien sabe las mejoras que traerá la actualización para la serie Vivo Active 4/4s? Se esperaba para este mes de diciembre.

    My watch cannot connect to my phone after the update. 

    I tried the following:

    - restarted the phone

    - restarted the watch

    - removed device from garmin connect

    - re-installed garmin connect

    None of the above worked. Please help!

  • Can’t understand why everyone is having issues. Works perfectly fine for my on iPhone on iOS 13.3

  • It’s a record of how many breath per minute you take. Not sure what it means for training though.
