This update can be downloaded through Garmin Express or automatically with Garmin Connect Mobile. 

Change Log 3.90

  • Add Garmin Swim 2 Features: Advanced Swim Workouts, Auto rest, Critical Swim Speed, Swim Pacing Alerts
  • Added all-day respiration, respiration widget, and breathwork activity
  • Improved treadmill calibration. An outdoor run prior to first treadmill use will improve performance.
  • Added Pilates
  • Improvements to Spotify, audio playback, other audio apps
  • Fixed crash that could occur on activity save at high elevation 
  • Added advanced Yoga and Pilates Workouts
  • Added support for Hydration widget, tracking, and sweat loss
  • Added support for Airplane Mode, which allows the user to disconnect from all wireless communication namely Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and ANT. (Hold Light > Controls > Hold Up > Add Controls > Airplane Mode)
  • Added support for file based Emojis, which brings support for over 1300 Emojis. (Update your device through Express or connect it to Garmin Connect Mobile.)
  • Added support for ClimbPro ‘Climb Detection’ setting in Cycling. (Bike > Activity Settings > ClimbPro > Climb Detection) This allows the customer to customize grade ‘sensitivity’ when identifying climbs. 
  • Improved ClimbPro for cycling by adding category coloring to the ascent graph, which better depicts the difficult portions of the climb. This will also be available when reviewing the elevation plot for a course. 
  • Improved compass performance. 
  • Fixed an issue where the device may become unresponsive when trying to navigate certain types of PacePro enabled courses. 
  • Fixed an intermittent issue where the map would switch to a Dark theme when previewing a pacepro course.
  • Various other fixes and improvements

ANT/BLE/BT Is at version 5.01. While we have historically used the ending of .00 with our production updates, this will change for some updates moving forward. This is a production update and is not a beta release.

    yes, im on 3.9.
    Got a new watch because I had to RMA my Rev A because of the cracking OHR and the buttons issue. My Rev D is now in the 20% rollouts.

    Did you try deleting German and reinstalling it?

    no, i don't want to do this, it's better to have the possibility to reproduce it, if Garmin need something Stuck out tongue winking eye

    atm i use the watch with english language and i am thinking, why not in the future too!

    We have a few articles in our support center today and will work to fill in any gaps we have. 

    Critical Swim Speed: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=h56ydwZxU8A7oi2OSh0y66

    Is there any chance to be able to do this test in a 20 meters pool?

    now i am a little bit confused, i already have 5.01 but on Beta 3.77?

    and of course my battery drain is 50% more then normal, when i understand it right, this sensor update is more or less a driver who manage the battery drain or?

    Garmin-Blake, does this update really bring us Bluetooth 5 to the watch or is it an internal software number? I thought that Bluetooth 4 to 5 needs also changes in hardware.

    Regarding battery drain: I assume that Garmin includes a third party software stack which means that the software code is not made but bought and included. This makes it even more difficult to find and fix battery issues.  Am I right  ?

    Bluetooth 4 or 5 is definitely a hardware thing and couldn't change with a software update, anyway none of the Garmin watches and bike computers have bluetooth 5 today!

    ANT/BLE/BT Is at version 5.01 means, it is more or less a different or better driver version  on the watch like on your computer for different hardware

    Thanks Blake - do you happen to have any info on how to use the advanced yoga stuff?  I assume it's step by step like the F6, but not sure (not in the 20%, boo).  Slight smile

    While I am not in the 20% for direct update, using Garmin Express via cable updated me ...
