Garmin apparently makes different firmware for watch you buy in different country. I bought my watch in Singapore, the international firmware is already at version 3.40, but the Asian firmware still stuck at version 3.10. I have been affected greatly by the frequent sensors disconnect issue at version 3.10 and unable to update to version 3.40 (tried even with Garmin Express). Called Garmin, they said the Asian version will only release 8 weeks post the international version release, what a sloooowwww update for Asian version. Can't believe Garmin takes their own sweet time to release the firmware update to different markets. Anyone tried to update their Asian version of watch to international firmware version with success?
Interesting!! I called Garmin and confirmed that Asian version is at 3.10. Would you mind to double check the part number in garmindevice.xml file by connecting your watch to a computer? (Instruction was given by Jim earlier in this thread).
Thank you!
hmm, this is interesting. my part number implies its ROW. but my box says 'asia version'.
i got mine from garmin malaysia during the first batch of pre-orders months ago. perhaps the later ones have gotten different regional firmware?
Never ever buy the asia version unless you absolutely need a spesific language, if you live in Asia and are able to use english as default, buy from outside Asia. The updates on tha Asia models are sloooow.
