    thanks for the detailed report . i'm glad to see they finally did something to make the alarm list a bit more sensical.

    i'm also glad that you haven't seen any major issues (although the lap swim one is worrisome if it recurs). still on fence whether i take the plunge. as i said, small complaints aside, my watch is functioning reasonable well, so not willing to rock the boat. if i knew they had implemented the properly outfitted battery saver, i would have already jumped to the beta. body battery isn't giving me a huge amount of urgency to be a beta tester. thanks for being my guinea pig :)

    Just a super-minor clarification.  The alarm list is still sorted by order of creation (not based on alarm time), but the shortcut / "controls" menu (press and hold power) shows an active alarm vs the first in the list.

    I'd still like to see the list get sorted in order of time with the "next occurring" on top Slight smile

    edit to correct…. Misspoke on the above comment in that I had not properly tested creation of new alarms.  I just added a new one today and it DID correctly insert it into my list chronologically (I had a 4:50 alarm and a bunch after 5:30.  When I added a 5:10 it showed after the 4:50 and before the later ones).

    Now, if the “time now” was 5:05 I’d like the first in the list to show 5:10 vs 4:50 (next possible occurring) but this is still an appreciated change that I apologize for mistakenly claiming it was still wrong.

    Swim repeats are still broke crash/loop/instant workout end.

    Battery life has been the same the same for me, luckily perfectly fine..  86% before install, 4 days later 72%.   Including 1 swim 'workout' of use.
