Thanks again for the app, loving my new toy.
Great to hear that the firmware upgrade went okay, I did a bit of googling and it'd appear that similar things have happened when using the Android software to perform upgrades as well.

The firmware packages are made up of two components, the actual firmware binary and a resource package (containing icons, fonts, etc.). My best guess is that the resource package transferred correctly but the firmware binary didn't, so it still reported 1.10 but had the (incompatible) resources from 1.12.1, which is why it ended up with a fallback font (and presumably some missing icons?)

When I next get some time to work on Rockwatch I'll have another poke at the firmware install process and see if I can find a way to reliably repeat the issue and figure out what's going on.
