Software Version 5.50 - Forerunner 245 Series - Live

after each lap when I have auto lap feature set, it is displaying avg pace in lap screen always as 0:00 (I'm using 0.5km laps) 

This bug from 5.20 is still there

"Updated the main workout data screen to indicate High, Low, or In Range for the current target."

This works when the activity background is set to white, but not when it's black

I was under the impression that this feature was reserved for the 745/945.

Is this available only for workouts? Or is it available for non-workout activities as well?

During a workout with a heart rate / pace / cadence(?) target there's an additional data screen with a gauge that shows when you're over, under or at the target. When you cross over the target boundaries there's a little text notification in the middle telling if you're shooting high, low or in range.

(The bug is that the text is always white, and I guess the notification background is white when activity bg is black and vice versa, so the text color seems to be hard coded and doesn't mind the bg setting)

5:50 is the worst upgrade I have seen. Must reset watch because battery drain. No SpO2 in sleep. And 178 puls when easy jogging in 8:30. The only good is that the networks error is gone when sync Spotify/Deezer. Lucky me I have the Garmin HRM-Tri.

Hi guys

Im not sure exactly how to check if my watch is APAC

I tried to check the number in the .xml file but this file I actually cant open - any other way I can check if I have an APAC device? 
Im guessing I do since I live in Taiwan and watch was originally in chinese box is in english though

I had no previous idea of this unfortunately

Trying to update my firmware to have updated recovery hours feature taking into account sleep and stress

However followed the instructions and doesnt work

I copy all the respective files into Garmin folder and GarminSW Folders etc

They show in the folders as being copied over

When unplugging device nothing happens no install or prompt

When plugging device back in seems the files I copied over are gone and no install

I checked about on watch and still shows Im running 5.0 although I would love the 5.32

Any idea why this happens? I checked similar posts and looks like people have the same issue but I didnt see any solutions

Oh - if it is an APAC device does that mean it cannot be updated with current firmware?

The firmware doesnt specify APAC or ROW?

Thanks a lot any answers would be great

Currently 245M is still on 5.0

Is it worth it to update?

Does the recovery time feature really improve? Mainly want that feature as its a feature on the new 745

Thanks a lot

Well they still working on the sleep tracking update that's fit in with improved recovery times, so that feature is not fully baked as yet. 5.5 has some other cool features like TrackMode for example which you might want. 

Also, why are you updating with 5.32 and not 5.5? 5.32 had some biggish bugs that 5.4 fixed, and then 5.5 fixed some critical bugs on 5.4.

Thanks for the reply brother

Well basically I cannot update my watch

I try it manually on a windows PC and follow all the instructions

Upon adding the file to my watch etc when I unplug the watch nothing happens - and when I plug it back in there are no files copied to the watch + no update

Not sure how to make it work

Havent manually updated firmware this will be my first time watch just 2-3 months old

Not sure if I have an APAC version

Where do I find the 5.5 update? Is it also available for 245M?

I only seem to find the 5.32 update
