Public Beta Version 12.27 is out

thanks for these remarks and being such a source of great information on this forum. i just took the plunge and allowed the beta to go to my watch. it will give me the chance to monitor smart watch battery consumption prior to my next run on saturday where hopefully i can also confirm that the cadence issue is fixed, as well as hopefully see my race estimates continuing to be reasonable. (they were very unreasonable on my prior 945LTE, but have been pretty good in my 4 months of owning the 955)

Cadence is fixed for me. I did a very short run with no external sensors enabled, and there were realistic values starting from about the fifth second.

Also my projected race times have become a little slower, most notably for longer runs (half and full marathons).

The biggest issue is the battery drain... non of the fixed issues is as important as that one. i hope that they will find what the problem is because having a watch that wont last an ironman definitely defeats its purpose..

Even with a set of external sensors, I'm not seeing huge battery drain. In activity, about 5% per hour maximum with all GPS features turned on and per-second logging. In my own typical usage I'd expect to (partially) charge the watch at most twice a week.

How long is your Iron Man event?

The beta didn't fix my down button starting to become sticky  with no clicks, good thing there is touch now, if start or back button are sticky, that would be another story.  Garmin should allow us to fully do everything in touch, including start and back and zoom etc, simple solution can prevent lots of exchanges

Is the ABC glance fixed ?

The pointer is stuck in 12.23.

It's the same still in both 12.25 and 12.27

Ouch.

Such a simple bug also not fixable.

I bet the heart rate y-axis not fixed too ? still showing 16 and 33 ?

yes, heart rate y-axis is funny. for me it shows 17 and 35.

the whole heart rate glance has change too. it looks like the font of the current HR and RHR are larger (good), and the heart icon is tiny (not so good), but i'll take the larger font for these old eyes.
