@pavel.samokha Is there a more specific list of bugfixes, or is that all that’s in this first description?

So happy to have track mode on my Race S! Thank you!
Next, I would love to have the Recovery widget as visible in phone app or in Run Watch.

Any news about the swimming algorithm? I think this is the biggest issue currently…

Shouldn’t it be a more comprehensive update for Q2, looking at the description?

Installed without any trouble on both my SV and SRs.
New track running pretty cool and seems easy to use. Just wondering if setting personnal sport mode based on it will keep ability to choose lane ?
No modification so far on integrated workout’s screen.

Hi, @VoiGAS @Artus-Diver
This is what I get from Joaquin’s video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSkJvrj_vqA

It literally says:

Improvements to the new swim algorithm

herlas

@suzzlo let’s not get confused here, there’s not a new swim algorithm this time around, it should be fixes to the new swimming algorithm that got intruduced last time.

suzzlo

@herlas sorry, you are right… changing my comment

Artus Diver

@suzzlo
I was guided by the previous description, but yes, you are right, there are more improvements including the swimming algorithm.

Bonkers, I still don’t have it. Anyone got links?

The bug regarding the missing accent color in the default watch face of the Race S, introduced in the Q1 update, unfortunately still persists after this Q2 update.

Pavlas

So now the maps look absolutely terrible. Especially the dashed road markings. I hope it’s a mistake.
