[17.24] Original watchface missing data options (Bug or Feature?)

Does anyone else exeperienced missing data options on the original watchface after upgrading to 17.24?

I like to have my status icons: phone connectivity, alarms, battery.

Now I don't have this option.

On top I can select lot of data options, but on the second below I can only change date fields (only 3 options). Then just below the hours and minutes I only have 2 options: training status and empty field.

For me it looks like useless in this status. At least I cannot have my favourites one.

Ok, I confirm it is bug. Garmin-Sierra can you please check it.

I created a new watchface on the watch, same design as the default one. I have status icons default on the bottom of the watchface. Then…

Just a remark: Anyhow the training status doesn't fit to the watch face so it is truncated left and right. Doesn't look very well.

I've created a report. Thank you so much!

Yes, they are missing from the watch face.

Same, it was also in beta version.

And who really need to have a VO2max value on the watchscreen? Perhaps those few that have VO2max above 70

Still there in 17.26, but only if I change the data fields. If I reset the watch it comes back, but once any single data field is changed, the third row can only be set to training status or blank (possibly where the status icons were) in English.

I have received answer from Garmin that they were aware on this issue on 17.26 and they were working on it.

On the current Beta (18.12) the issue seems to be resolved for me. Had to (once) manually switch the third row data field to the status icons, and now everything works as expected again.

All,

This has been fixed in beta 18.12. If you prefer not to enroll in Beta, feel free to wait until the live software release (date pending).

I have this issue, and have signed up the the Beta program but don't see any way to get the update.
I go to settings and check for updates, it downloads something, but after a sync and/or restart the software is still the same.

Have I missed something?

Did you connect to WiFi? Setting Up Wi-Fi on a Fitness Device

Then, check for updates again and give it some time. After I searched for an update it took about 10 minutes for 18.12 to appear under "Software Update".

This is happening with me as well.
If I tried to change de VO2Max that is the last data showing in the default FR255 Face, the icons disappear and I cannot set them again.
This is very annoying.
Someone managed solve that?

You would need to either download Beta 18.15 or wait for our live software release.
