955 - Updating Daily?

9834002 4 days ago

Hi team,

I have a 955 FR, it is on version 23.20. Every single day at the moment, it says around 9am "Install Update?" and has an expected install time of 1 minute. I usually click "install" it then installs and restarts, and then In get the exact same message the next day? It has been happening for around 2 weeks.

I was under the impression 23.20 is the latest version, so what is happening?

If I don't click "install now" it automatically updates and restarts around midday.

Any ideas or what I can do to fix this?

I have the same problem with the 955. Since then, the heart rate and step count no longer work. Reinstalling the software was not an option. Restarting and resetting didn’t help either.

Connect your FR955 to your computer. Open its filesystem.

Find the RemoteSW folder inside the GARMIN folder on the watch. Delete the RemoteSW folder (and its contents).

Disconnect your watch from the PC. Power off (through the menus) and power it back on again.

You might get one more update prompt but it should be the last one (until the next official update is released).

(The RemoteSW folder will be re-created by the watch when you next sync it.)

same situation but deleting files from the folder doesn't help. The watch freezes and doesn't respond to any button presses.
