When will updates be released for Asian software version devices?

Any idea when the next update will be for Asia based devices?

Garnin stratgey for this region is strange as it seems no use buy garmin product if you live in Asia (same lack of updates for many other garmin proucts for us). Its been many months since last update to 5.90 for SEA software version device. This is the list of bugs so far... might be more... 

  • Animations do not display during a workout. Once starting the workout only the timer and other data is shown, and the text name of the step, but no animation. (bug I reported last year and was promised a fix!)

bugfix in 7.56:

  • Improvements made to on-device sleep detection and sleep staging.
  • Improvements made to Run/Idle detection algorithm, particularly when detecting when the user has stopped.
  • Other minor improvements and bug fixes.

bugfix in 6.82:

  • Improvements to phone connection reliability.
  • Fixed a reset on power up issue that affected a small number of users.
  • Fixed a possible indoor climb crash found in the previous beta.

bugfix in  6.78:

  • Updated incident detection to better distinguish between supported and unsupported activities.
  • Other minor bug fixes and improvements.

bugfix in  6.09:

  • Improvements to the resting heart rate algorithm.
  • Minor SpO2 updates to improve messaging.
  • Fix an issue that could cause interference with Firstbeat driven metrics like Body Battery, VO2 Max, and Intensity Minutes.
  • Other minor bug fixes and improvements.

bugfix in  6.02:

  • Fix an issue that could cause a smart trainer connection to interfere with pace from a foot pod.
  • Fix an issue that could temporarily prevent temperature and altitude readings after a pool swim activity.
  • Other minor bug fixes and improvements.

Not even thinking of all the new features!  I am still in warranty and wondering if this is grounds to get a refund? 

  • New SW version 9.6 appeared last night on APAC version FR745, finally updated from 5.9 to 9.6 here in India.

    The only difference I could spot is it's added LTHR in Heart Rate. Let's hope we see better and bigger updates in times to come... Going by the time it takes for these updates to rollout in APAC versions - it may well be many months again.

  • this v9.60 is more like v5.91 with only one bugfix. look at the changelog that rest of world got Garmin: Forerunner 745 Updates & Downloads and can see that we got nothing on that list! With this attitude from Garmin then need to inform people living in India, and anywhere else in Asia to look to other manufactueres that are fully supporting us.

  • Woke up with 10.40 this morning. And my VO2 max become nothing/reset and the suggested workout also got reset. 3 hours of sleep also go undetected... Maybe it was updating during that period Shrug 

  • Same here. I slept at 11 last night, watch record was 3:22a-7:22a, which made my sleep quality poor. Rofl

    Glad that we finally got the new activities, RHR and sleep algorithm. Thumbsup

  • Same! Woke up with 10.4 here in India, and let's see how it goes. Watch auto updated this time during sleep as against previous update which was waiting for installation.

    Happy that it's probably a major update compared to the 9.6 that was pushed out earlier. Hopefully we'll get better update cycles at par. V

  • Also 10.40 inMalaysia.... and it is a real 10.40 and a few things already noticable:

    - went for a run this mornign and the run/walk detection actually works now!

    - workouts are finally functional after along wait - yoga, strength, cardio and even HIIT!

    - my wife mentioned to me that I am looking really good today
