Has anyone else Firmware 2.60?

Hi,

I got my brandnew fr945 yesterday. It has firmware version 2.60 on it but i can't find anything on the web about it. Any ideas?

Furthermore gps 2.30 is displayed. Do you recommend to update the chipset?

  • On the bottom of your box. What the revision means is speculative

  • 2.60 is for the newer released units (probably the units that have the button fixes). The Pulse Ox doesn’t work in 2.60 units no matter what version you upgrade or downgrade to - Garmin Support advised me that this will be fixed with a software update/patch soon. I was going to return mine as well, but the Pulse Ox isn’t that useful as I am not at altitude, so I’ll wait for the software update. I’m just glad the buttons work so well in the new unit - everything else works great. 

  • Mine is rev A also, 2.60 fw. No problems with buttons or anything else. I bought it few days ago from Wiggle and it arrived today. So, I tested it only for few hours but everything seems ok for now. 

  • Pulse Ox works in mine. I have 2.60. Maybe I'm the lucky one. The watch arrived to me today with 2.60 installed, I tested Pulse Ox in always mode or as one time measurement, in the both cases everything works fine. HR readings also works with Pulse Ox always on... 

  • Same here, 2.60. Pulse Ox and HR readings both work when enabled together, either all-day Pulse Ox (only tried for ~6 hours since it drains battery so quickly) or sleep mode. Have had the watch nearly 4 weeks now.

  • 2.60 gps 2.30 bought in UK, everything works except PulseOx data in apps. WIdgets works fine, inlcuding all-day monitoring of HR and PulseOX. Night PulseOx monitoring is enabled as well.
