Am I still on beta

I've been on the beta program, but left this morning. My FR265 shows that I am running 20.26 [DFU-4d1582].

How do I know if this is the beta 20.26 or the general release 20.26?

The FR is not tracking intensity minutes, puts HIIT exercise hear rate in zone 1 when I am actually in zone 4, etc. So, the FR is practically useless. BTW, I am using an Garmin chest HR monitor, and my HR is showing correctly during exercise - it just doesn't record correctly

    i think its one and the same. they would use a different .xx if it was different, I think they made an error showing on the beta page, or decided to do a general release as well - despite not fixing the bugs we listed.

    I haven't had the issues on my 965 you refer to though and I updated it before it was on either page.

    Did you do a soft reset after the update? Hold in light button until full shutdown then restart after say 20 secs.

    Does it work on a different exercise , I generally run.

    I did a couple of hard resets. Not fun getting everything back to the way I had it.

    Doesn't record the activity correctly regardless of type (cardio, strength, HIIT).

    Can't believe a vendor would release bug-laden software as GA, but you never know.

    Guess I'll need to wait for the next interim update Disappointed

    Beta 20.26 and Live 20.26 are identical.

    the beta character is shown on your watch (Menu / System / About) only during Beta Phase when sync with your phone ...
