Alongside these new features, the firmware update packs a series of optimisations that refine the user experience. The GPS firmware has been upgraded, optimizing the tracking effectiveness during workouts. There is also an enhancement in user interaction, both on the data page prior to exercise and during workouts, making navigation more intuitive and efficient.
