i've got a Garmin Instinct, it's not one of the models that needs the update for this issue but an unrelated update went out mid December for it , its supposed to auto update via Garmin Connect via Bluetooth, but didnt, i had to manually updated it with garmin express, connecting the watch to my laptop with the USB cable
