A Garmin bike product with software problems? Why am I not surprised.
Their stuff is great if and when it's working correctly. But every model seems to have it's own set of intermittent problems.
My 705 still locks up occasionally on a ride, or writes garbage into the middle of a ride recording file, or quits calculating grades, or mangles the filesystem, needing a check and repair scan.

To me this means the vendor is continuing development and is rapidly addressing any issues they find. The product isn't a beta, they're just continuing to improve it as they go.
I'd be more concerned if I bought something that has the ability to be updated and the vendor doesn't bother. This means they either don't care after they have your money, or they're busy working on the next version and you'll have to swap out to get the updates.
After rolling out fixes to some of the problems, this seems to be Garmin's standard method.
