"Verifying connect IQ apps"

The watch is connected to my PC via USB - when it's disconnected it displays "Verifying Connect IQ Apps"... For nearly TWO MINUTES. The watch is not usable during this time. Really really annoying... Can this behavior be turned off?

No. It sounds like you may have many apps or watch faces installed. Could help to uninstall those you don't use. Or deleting old activities from the watch.

I've had a similar experience recently, even with version 28.05. Garmin, can you try and fix this?

I don't think it has anything to do with the apps already installed. In addition, sometimes the watch freezes in a similar way after disconnecting the USB cable on a different screen of the watch, i.e. without the verification text displayed.
