When will we have a new beta or stable version?

Hello,

I do not understand that we have 2 months without updates, Garmin has left the Forerunner 945 abandoned in favor of Fenix 6,

I am very disappointed with Garmin.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the reply.

One month the beta, two months the stable.

Both the beta version and the stable version have many important bugs that have been fixed or at least attempted in the Fenix 6.

It's not that I'm against a newer version for fixes/features and especially for the top multi-sport watch they have, but the last beta was released on September 27th...only a month ago.

I would have expected it to become a stable one already, but am not fully familiar with the bugs that appeared due to this beta, so cannot judge honestly.

Fenix Series is their best series, so they get treated better. Forerunner will get service "when fenix is done", so all bugs/features are working as they should on these watches. I think garmin does not have a team for every watch, more a few teams which are "jumping" from device to device.

Except Forerunner 935 had a Beta release 2 days ago :)

Which does not proof anything, since it is completly different hardware. 935 is similar to fenix 5, 945 to fenix 6. When stuff on the corresponding fenix lineup is fixed it will get to the matching forerunner

Well, it got worse than it was in June when the article was published. Sad.

Tomorrow perhaps, or maybe the day after at worst.
