First of all I feel Garmin have done some good work with V8.00, I will pick out ClimbPro as a great new feature.
However with such a complex device (and so many other devices in Garmin's portfolio) and so many features unfortunately things do fall through the cracks.
I would really appreciate if Garmin could confirm if these are known issues and whether they are on roadmap for fix?
UPDATED 2nd October - Looks like none of these made the 8.06 Beta :-(
This is my list of top issues that I still experience with the device:
- Training Status and Load changed at v8.00 and no longer reading the same as Garmin FR 935 / Fenix 5 devices despite TrueUp Annoyance Factor 7/10
Workaround : I now just ignore the new Training Status and Load metrics on the Edge and just use what the Garmin FR 935 reports after TrueUp
- Improvements in LiveTrack and AutoStart, but Phone keeps disconnecting - Annoyance Factor 6/10
Workaround : I now just use iPhone share location
- Battery showing 100% all the time, unless you do a hard power down after each charge - been around a ling time this one! Annoyance Factor 6/10
Workaround : Must remember hard power down after each charge

- SRAM etap and AXS Front gear changes no longer recorded in FitFile correctly. Annoyance Factor 5/10.
NO Workaround : Overall I didn't use every time, but my gear change Info from a recent pyrenees trip is now useless (Climbro good, gear change bad!)
