Run details displayed in English despite the fact that the watch has a Polish menu

This was introduced with beta. Reported this one to the beta team.
Same applies to other activities as well.

As a follow-up, I decided to connect my watch to Garmin Express on a computer to see if that would update the software numbers. (The original "update" connected through the Android Connect app.) Garmin Express thinks my watch is up to date, despite reporting Software 4.20 / GPS 2.90 / Wi-Fi 2.60 / CIQ 3.1.7 / BMX 0.5.2

It's annoying, but not a game changer for me. The change log doesn't include anything that I've been screaming for, and my GPS locked onto the satellites very quickly with the previous upgrade. So rather than doing a factory reset or anything that drastic that might reset my fitness results, I'm hoping that it figures out what's happening on its own, or that the next update works fine. (And it's possible that the software was updated, except for the reported software versions.)

Unfortunately I haven't been able to figure out any fix for the issue. But knowing that I'm not alone with the issue is nice (I guess).

I was hoping that someone from Garmin could help...

Connected mine to garmin express and tadaaa! Update available.

Something must have auto updated this night and it wasn't the 4.40... Really confusing!

0 sdantasbvi over 4 years ago in reply to BobMiles

No, it is not confusing. The increased the roll out from 20 to 50% and yours is in the 50% batch (but was not in the initial 20%).

Does anyone know if this will also improve the map loading times? A recent update (not sure if the maps, or the update to 4.20) really slowed this down :-/

Battery drain since this update, losing about 5% per hour... :(

ok i left the watch's wifi on overnight, and now i magically have gps 4.10

0 Alex_WAW over 4 years ago in reply to phoglund_

Same here,GPS 2.90 (!) after firmware update. Second sync was required to download GPS 4.10, you notice this by the need to accept some legal stuff before download.

It's a pity Garmin did not mention this two step update process in the update description.
