I see you've linked to my bug report on the Garmin foruns regarding the issue with date text being cut off on the watchface.Thanks for notifying of the new firmware update. Unfortunately this did not get resolved on as noted in the change log - I've just installed beta v12.23 and tested. Hopefully they fix this soon, pretty disappointed to see such sloppy implementation given the price point.
Garmin has released Beta Version 12.23 for Instinct 2 and Instinct Crossover smartwatches. The new update brings a range of bug fixes to the wearables, resolving problems with watch face glances, activity history and potential crashes. Garmin notes that the latest software must be side-loaded, as with other recent updates.
