Ah, in that case what I'd like to be able to do should be in v20.30...

How do I check version number? I went into IQ on my phone but I couldn't see how to confirm version/check for updates?

Press and hold the left middle button. Scroll down to System, scroll down to About

Thanks. I'm on v19.20 - yet have auto updates on, and no mechanism to check for updates?

Irritating, I've a session in an hour!

From what I've seen v20.30 is still in Beta. Shouldn't be too long.

I held off too when I saw it's still in beta.

It is not in beta, even though it says it is - see my link.

Noted.

Still hasn't appeared on my device, isn't in Garmin Express or Garmin web updater... guess I'll wait!

Just updated manually and all went very smoothly.

Now to go gravel riding for real. Quite how it's different from a road ride on trails or an mtb ride on gravel, I don't know

Mine’s on the latest version, pretty sure I updated through Express about two weeks ago.

I’m pretty much sold on the Epix, I can sacrifice a bit of battery life for the better display. And even a 6 day battery life is far superior to anything Apple produce.

Just need to find the cheapest place and maybe sell my 6x Solar Titanium to partially fund the new one.

First class watches are normally good and have an offer function

That’s how I got mine, they responded quickly and accepted my offer of a price that was well below what was available elsewhere at the time.

Where is the offer button? I couldn't see it when browsing their site the other evening.

Just below the pricing bit iirc.

They were great to deal with 15 months ago when I got my fenix 6. Titanium bracelet and rubber strap (titanium sapphire watch) for about £120 less than the regular watch with plain strap...

In fact, they accepted the offer I made so fast I was pissed that I could probably have pushed even harder!

[McAndy]

Thank you, I'll take another look later today. Hoping for some large discounts now the 7 has been announced!

Also a 10% off code, if you sign up for their mails..

Hmm... hadn't considered the Epix.

I think I've just got the want for a new toy

[Sheets Tabuer]

Why have you sided with the Epix? is not having solar an issue?

[Robotron70]

It’s never sunny here!

I honestly didn’t notice any extra run time with my 6x solar and my previous 5x non solar.

The oled screen should make it easier for me to read too, I really struggle on the 6x and yet don’t have issues with anything else.

I cant find anybody selling these at less than retail so far, I need to remember where I got my 6x from because I definitely got it a few weeks after release and about £150 off list.

[Sway]

The 6 screen is a bit odd - essentially there's two different components within the same model...

One of those is 'blue instead of black', and seems to have much less visibility in sunlight/at an angle.

I know when I got mine, I was prepared to check it out, and return for refund if I'd got the 'worse' screen before re-ordering to roll the dice.

v20.30 appeared in Garmin Express for me this morning...

Just checked on my watch and it’s also there ready to install now.

[James6112]

Same
AutoUpdate hadn’t actioned it yet, but it was there for me to update manually, from the 6x pro watch menu.
