Still no sleep widget on the watch, which was promised before end of last year...

agree with danielsfrazier nothing worth installing.

Was really hoping for PM5 support

I really look forward to a widget which shows: sleep time, sleep score, sleep quality level and timeline of sleep stages.

What is already implemented in F6 and should be a simple copy/paste to 945 firmware…

Link doesn't want to stay as a link :) Maybe here? https://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=14933

But nothing interesting in the beta in my opinion, so not going to install it :)

Seems kind of odd to go from 5.5 to 6.x for mostly bug fixes? Anyone know the version numbering methodology?

What we see is what is released to the public. What we don’t see are the versions being tested in the background. Neither do we see the full list of updates. Just like many other change logs the full list is not always documented in full

i think a part of Sleep Widget is already included in 5.5, i often get a good Recovery Time over night with a "Improved by Excellent Sleep" directly after wake up in the morning, so we can say more or less 50% of sleep widget is already in production firmware

Does this fix the jaybird headphone issue? It seems that issue has been resolved in the Fenix beta update listing but isn't in this one?

If you check the 245 forum which has the same beta, in the M version it has been fixed
