If you have not yet received Version 5.40, then the update will include the above, as well as everything that was previously in 5.40 which I have included below.

Update can be downloaded through Garmin Express or Garmin Connect Mobile pending the rollout schedule.

- Fixed an issue that caused CIQ watch faces to display 0 calories.
- Added improvements to prevent dropped phone connection.
- Other minor improvements and bug fixes.
- Fix an iOS reconnection issue on some phones.

Can we also expect an update for Fenix 6?

Unfortunately my watch isn't showing VO2Max and performance condition anymore.

Sleep tracking is gone... now its back but the battery is draining 52% over night and 10% left in the evening (about 6 PM).

I've noticed that since this update was applied to my non-music 245 the battery is draining much faster than it was previously. Even when not doing any kind of activity. There is another thread with others having the same issue. I assume this will be resolved soon as the increase in battery drain does appear to be related with this update?

I feel like I get a brand new watch with these updates, which goes to show how off the mark it was when it went on sale 2 years ago. Seriously the sleep tracking, body battery and actual watch battery is a lottery with every update. Get it together Garmin.

I purchased my 245 YESTERDAY and the heart rate/pulse oximeter is also not working on version 5.50. I'm majorly annoyed. Have tried soft and hard reset and still no lights on the back of the watch. Would also like this answered!

Hm, the battery is draining 52% over night and 10% left in the evening (about 6 PM). Use my old Fitbit Watch now to track sleep while my 245 charges its batteries overnight. Feels like I went back to the Apple Watch :)
