19.09 Incoming

S.M.R. 20 days ago

I just received 19.09 on my 965. I assume its a Beta , but not sure.

So far I have noticed:

Scrolling the widget or settings menu now has a haptic feedback (not sure if one can turn it off) UPDATE There is a Haptics switch so yes can turn off.

My DSW are all strange in Calendar , showing Bike day (I only ever run), under Run they look as expected however.

GPS 10.00

WiFi 28.15

CIQ 5.0.0

BMX 16.1.2

WHR 16.01.02

ANT/BLE 28.15

TSC 7.21

Sensor Hub 30.20

ETE 6.19.0.4

LHA 2.5.0.4

We already know it:

"This update seems to be leaking inaccurate data from the optical heart rate sensor into the data from the chest sensor."

Added Indoor Walk activity.
Added Messenger App. - Also need to download a mobile app. This works with inReach communicator.
Added Recovery Advisor as an option in Morning Report and glances.

thanks for being at the bleeding edge. i got an email noting it, but i consciously turned off auto update after 18 since i'm really pleased with the feature set and didn't want to get bumped automatically unless i saw the list of features/fixes.

i have no major trip/races after this weekend, so i may take the plunge next week but will look forward to hearing people's experiences.

i'm glad you can turn of haptic feedback i don't think that's something that i'd want.

Hopefully it fixes the inability to manually exit sleep mode correctly prior to the scheduled end time.

Cool, hopefully they have fixed the issues with the ski/snowboard activity with this update.

I'm tempted to try it to see if it eliminates all the false naps it logs when I drink my morning coffee.

16.22 Heartrate from WHR but HRM Strap connected - fēnix 7 Series - Wearables - Garmin Forums

it was not enough that garmin screwed up the OHR data badly, now it corrupts the HR data when using WHR as well. fortunately, it can be disabled with a hack using power modes to disable OHR reading: 16.22 Heartrate from WHR but HRM Strap connected - fēnix 7 Series - Wearables - Garmin Forums
