FW 13.22 - Bug list - Is it safe to upgrade now or?

I have now tried another run without HRM ot runpod, but with music and headphones connected. Heart rate is recorded correct, but time in heart rate zones is faulty, training load and stamina incorrect.
So it seems like as soon as you connect something to the watch it totally f-cks up the recorded metrics. 

as far as my experience goes, 13.21 and 13.22 are both bug ridden and 13.22 should have been pulled by garmin just as 13.21 was. or better yet, they could have actually tested before releasing either.

i wish i'd turned off auto-update so i didn't get 13.21. having encountered issues with that, i discovered that it was known to be a problem and since garmin hadn't seen fit to push the supposed fix of 13.22 to people on 13.21 i manually updated to 13.22 and if anything things got worse from there.

honestly, after the index s2 scam and now this, i think its time i ditched garmin completely

pnmckenna, can you please tell some examples of issues, that make both "13.21 and 13.22 bug ridden", as you claim? Thank you!

the 3 issues i'm seeing are

the one bug supposedly fixed in this version that i had been encountering was "Fixes an issue where a horizontal dashed line could appear on training pages during an activity" - i have seen this issue since the update, though that was outside of an activity which i had not previously seen.

if i'm actively noticing 3 issues, 2 of which i consider major issues, then i can only assume there are plenty more that i'm not noticing but may well be being affected by and others may actively notice.

prior to the update i had thought the watch was finally settling into a reasonably stable working state after many earlier issues

As an update for me, I have to send in my watch to get replaced and a new one sent to me because of the 13.22 update. 

interesting... are they indicating that the update process has caused an issue?

if not then what software version will the new watch come with?

OK, thank you. I am glad I stayed on 13.15.... Sorry for hearing about issues with newer firmware.

I'm 2 weeks into 13.22. I have not recorded an activity yet though.

So far, I did not encounter any issue.

I will report when I do my running with HRM TRI.

So far I have not seen any showstopping bugs on my watch. I got it a couple of weeks ago and have only used it on 13.21 and 13.22. I pair my watch with an Android phone and I primarily use my watch for running, biking, and strength training. I have not paired my watch with any external sensors other than a Polar HRM. I've done a handful of outdoor runs with SatIQ GPS tracking, both tracks and elevation are good.

Battery life I've been pretty happy with so far. First 7 days of use I actually drained my watch about 80% but I think this was due to a combination of messing with the watch a lot as well as using a non-stock watch face. Since then I've switched to a stock digital watch face, and after 7 more days of use I've gone through only 50% (which is better than Garmin's estimate given that in that time period I also did about 3 hours of SatIQ GPS tracking and 6 hours of indoor activity tracking).

So far I did 2 activities with 13.22.

I am using a HRM Tri.

GPS, battery, touchscreen, etc all seems fine to me.
