13.15 general observations

thought i'd start a general discussion thread here (as opposed to bug reports):

quick things i've noticed:

  • new font for glances (smaller? thankfully still readable for these old eyes)
  • the Solar intensity widget looks better with a line plot rather than using bars for every update interval
  • as noted by others, Maps zoom seems to work a little better. a tap to the screen brings up the zoom buttons. from what i understood, the Fenix7/Epix2 can have a double tap to zoom in? that doesn't appear to work yet on the 955
  • it may be my imagination, but the interface feels more fluid again like the original FW. i recall the first update seemed to make things a bit more sluggish. not painfully so, but it seems that things are back to where they were several months ago.
  • as typical, my glances got all sorted in weird order (not a huge deal)
  • the watch reinstalled some previously uninstalled watch faces

what have you all noticed?

  • I noticed after this update the watch won't allow cycling as the primary event. It was nice to have workout suggestions around that, but now it switched back to general recommendations with no target event.

    I'm not sure why this happened, but it seems like a rollback on Garmin's side for the watch's firmware. My Edge 1040 detects the primary cycling event just fine.

  • Same here - the number fonts for the activities are smaller than on my beloved FR935

  • Same for me. I got the 955 with the bigger screen so that I can see the metrics better (I am getting old) and then on a side-by-side with my 235, the actual size of the numbers is smaller :(

    The whole product design and UX of 955 doesn't make sense to me :( 

  • Yeah, there's a waste of screen space, a lot of space available and text is small!
