Hi,
Since updating to SW 12.70 on my Forerunner 970 I am experiencing repeatable UI issues:
-
Cycling Ability glance:
-
When enabled, scrolling through glances causes noticeable lag and sometimes a freeze of 1–3 seconds.
-
Removing the glance eliminates the problem.
-
-
Morning Report:
-
The report takes several seconds to load and sometimes freezes while scrolling.
-
It seems worse when the Suggested Workout card is included.
-
If I disable the report, the watch feels more responsive.
-
-
Race widget:
-
I currently have 9 races scheduled.
-
If I set one as “primary” and only 2 as “secondary,” the watch is usable.
-
But when I set all races as secondary, performance slows down significantly, both in the Race widget and during the Morning Report.
-
Steps to reproduce:
-
Add Cycling Ability glance → scroll through widgets → watch freezes briefly.
-
Enable Morning Report with Suggested Workout card → delay of 3–6 seconds.
-
Add multiple (9) races as secondary → UI sluggishness increases.
Notes:
-
No third-party watchfaces or data fields.
-
Notifications cleared, soft reset performed.
-
Issue persists.
It looks like Cycling Ability and Morning Report may share the same problem as in fēnix 8 / Enduro 3 (where recent firmware changelogs mention fixes for lag in Cycling Ability and Morning Report cards). Could the same fixes be applied to the FR 970?
Happy to provide logs and allow direct contact if needed.
Thanks!
