This thing frustrates me so much. I would just like the watch to function as it did when I purchased it. I have auto updates turned off, but once again the s/w was updated without my consent.
Whilst I understand that ‘expert’ users might appreciate new content, I’ve seen nothing but degradation from every update.
This time I’m getting random vibration alerts (with notifications off), and whilst I was happy with the c1week battery life (I know many others aren’t…), it has now gone flat from full charge in 3 days.
Step counter worked OK when I bought it, but has been broken since an early update. Likewise HRM drops out more frequently than I think it used to.
Much of my activity is hill walking, often with a friend who has an ancient Polar Grit which seems much better and more consistent. Maybe time to jump ship.
