Still no fix for a serious bug since the introduction of the watch more than a year ago: the watch crashes & reboots on long activities.
They expect customers to provide then with debug files to solve this. But now they have to fix another new bug where the watch does not produce debug files.

Still no fix for their horrible FirstBeat algorithm.  It's a heart rate monitor Garmin, why in hades would you manipulate a simple heart rate logger at its essence. If I wear a chest strap or a second Unlinked watch, my Garmin Connect 503SO can be as much as 50 beats lower on a ride etc.  They have cute isms like. CADENCE LOCK and misfit equipment as excuses, but when presented with evidence they replaced the watch in kind and the two replacements do the exact same thing.  So fire the 22 kid that design this poopwatch and revert back to 2022 tech and keep my bidness.  2 watches, 1040 Edge and 3 sets of Power Pedals.  That or maybe Dewey Cheatem and Howe may come a callin...
