Does anyone know if we going to get an software update soon to solve all the bug and issues this watch have? Garmin don't says nothing about and I'm thinking about returning the watch and get my money back, maybe in the future this goes to be a good watch,but a this moment is trash

    They release iterative fixes. Usually takes 5-6 months for the firmware to stabilise on a new garmin (based on 935, and 945 that I have had)

    I really wish we’d just get some kind of acknowledgment from Garmin. This has been a terrible experience so far.

    This is a user forum. As far as I know it is not monitored.

    In truth as well not everyone is having a terrible experience. I have had a few minor annoyances but for the most part everything works just fine for me.

    I believe this one is monitored as per the others for other products?

    ATM the 945lte is a better/safer deal, the 955 isnt bad but it sure has a few bugs left and battery life doesn't seem as good as expected by most.

    i ran the 935 (got it on release week so its old) in parallel to the 955 from well over a week now and the 955 is at 22%, the 935 is at 60%. keep in mind the 955 uses more juice due to having more sat features, though mine also have solar. i had 2 "real" exercise sessions so far and didnt play with the watch.

    might also be battery calibration issues so ill wait til it dies

    Very few brand new devices or products are perfect on first release. There’s always something that could be improved and there’s always something that someone won’t like. 

    Im happy with my 955, it’s a firm step up from the 945 for how I use it.

    I like the 955 so far, the issues are "irritants" more than making it unusable - well for my use case anyway.

    According to some answers of DCR to comments I assume that there could be a Beta for 955 in the near future, maybe still in June. The content of course is not really well known but at least the map issues should be improved then.

    How do I update the watch without Garmin Express? I've got a 955 and trying to install an IQ data field but it says I need the latest version, yet it's set to automatically update and it's not updating....? Thanks.

    The update has only rolled out to 50% of users so far, so you may not have it available to you.  Having said that, most of the data fields should work without the watch being updated to the current version.  What software version is currently on your watch?
