After 21.20 update watch "updates" 1-3x per day

After updating to the 21.20 update, my 955 asks to install a firmware update at least once per day, sometimes multiple times in a day. At first I thought it was incremental bug fixes, but now that it's been happing daily for so long I'm convinced it's some kind of bug.

I tried a "Reset > Delete Data and Reset Settings" and the issue still occurs.

  • This might help:

    Connect your watch to your computer and open the watch with your file explorer.

    Find the GARMIN folder on the watch. Inside it will be a RemoteSW folder. Delete the RemoteSW folder. Wait a few seconds.

    Disconnect from the computer.

    Power off the watch normally, then power it back on.

    You may get an update request again, but it should complete and not ask you again.
