I did a short dog walk this morning and the squares have shown on WSW so it seems to work well enough for my needs. I’m also logging on my Vivoactive and will delete duplicates when it’s back up and running again.

Badger Jul 2020 12:17pm, 26 Jul 2020 12,568 posts	Badger ^that would have been Juliane Fuchs. I've seen people on other forums saying the same thing, especially on units that don't keep as much history - they should be deleting the oldest activities automatically and aren't. It's not just the storage space but the watch's internal database of what activities were done when, I suspect.

Badger Jul 2020 12:23pm, 26 Jul 2020 12,571 posts	Badger No hint of time frame at all. Probably wise. I think they should be saying more than they are, but at the moment either they're paying a ransom and have a lot of files to decrypt, or they're rebuilding from clean backups and won't be able to risk re-opening until they know there is no trace of the malware on the systems and no risk of recurrence.
