Lost Functionality After Software Update

There was apparently a software "push" last week (8/4 or 8/5).  I first noticed a change in the appearance of the watch face on 8/5.  My Garmin Connect Version is 4.57.0.28, I don't know if there is a separate version for the watch software or how to find it.  I have experienced the following degraded functionality:

  • Changed my watch faces and fields, and switched from "pace" to "speed".  I've since updated the fields on watch faces, but the watch still shows speed rather than pace when saving a run.
  • VO2 Max has not updated since before the update, 8/3
  • Gear usage has not updated since before the update, 8/3
  • The run map on "my day" previously indicated pace by color of the run route (red = fast, blue = slow).  This no longer appears, it is all red

There may be other changes which I have not yet discovered.  I have deleted and reinstalled the watch in Garmin Connect, removed and reinstalled the bluetooth connection, and reset the watch by holding the power button down for 20 seconds.  What am I missing?

  • Connect and a watch have separate versions. On a watch choose: Menu -> System.

    Fields on a watch are customizable, you can choose speed or pace, or switch between screens, but after saving an activity it's speed.

    Other things are on Connect, so better check on its sub-forum. For wrong map color maybe switch map types to refresh it.
