Firmware Update 11.12

I assume after downloading and before actually restarting/processing the updatethe file will simply be on the watch... Same as with the beta fw files you manually place on there.

They probably noticed something that prevents the distribution. This watch has huge amount of bugs. Even basic things are broken. 

Yet they still sell this thing for top price. 

It looks like I replaced the rebooting brick (945, twice) with a newer brick (955 Solar), and they don't know how to fix it. Thanks Garmin.

I honestly don’t understand what peoples are complaining about. Except for battery drain, my watch is working flawlessly. 
-All training/firstbeat metric work with no exception.

-All running/cycling/swimming activities work flawlessly as well.

What is wrong with you guy?

People is complaining because it is buggy and not all the functions are working properly. 

Read the forum, you will find out. Maybe you are lucky? I can't use the backlight because the watch is restarting. and it drains the batteries all the time. is it Ok for you in a premium watch?

Maybe they work for you, they don't work for all.

My acute load is stuck, training status doesn't seem to work properly, swimrun's OW swims are hugely shorter than real distances, OW swims are also shorter than the GPX Garmin itself records, not so huge difference, but really weird still.

Those at least annoy me currently.

Ps. My battery drain is just normal, don't know what battery drain issue you are referring to? ;) 

I seem to be finally getting somewhere, I’ve logged a support ticket to Garmin with my issues and they have been able to replicate it their end. Hopefully they can fix it now…

For me it's workable as well, but doesn't mean I'm satisfied with the current state or that it's fine for everyone...

Issues I have:

1. Can't select a location on the map for navigation... No deal breaker currently, but sucks when abroad or in certain situations

2. Heartrate zones are buggy, can only use the main default zone and no sport specific. 

3. Battery drain, workaround available but far from ideal

4. Crappy touch implementation, workable but sucks

5. Issues with saving (changes to) lists. Renaming a saved location works iffy, workaround is possible but again crappyq

And if it's "just this" but knowing Garmin is taking it seriously and working on it would be one thing...

But the only thing we have or know of almost 1.5 months after release is a half baked firmware with some minor changes which almost a week later is still only rolled out for 20%?!

Then others have reported many reboots (connected to display brightness settings?), power sensor recording issues and who knows what more.

This is for a premium product costing 550-650 dollars/euros, and Garmin is giving its users the finger currently. I've had a few people asking me if I'd recommend the FR955, and currently it's a no. Garmin needs to get their sh*t straight with this one.
