Garmin is pushing out a brand-new beta software iteration, version 21.10, designed for a selection of its high-end wearables. Suppose you’re sporting a device from the Fenix 7 lineup, the vibrant Epix series, the endurance-focused Enduro 2, the marine-centric Quatix 7, or any model within the premium MARQ Gen 2 collection. In that case, this update is heading your way.
Key Improvements in the Latest Beta
This beta release targets several specific areas to enhance the user experience and improve the reliability of these sophisticated smartwatches. The changelog highlights the following key fixes:
- Smartening Up Incident Detection: The update resolves an issue where the incident detection feature was inadvertently triggering during activity profiles where it’s not intended to function. This should lead to fewer false alarms and a more seamless experience across different activity types.
- Pinpointing Distance Accuracy: Athletes relying on their Garmin for precise metrics will appreciate the fix addressing inaccuracies that led to underreporting distance during both running and walking activities. This correction aims to ensure more reliable pace and distance data for your workouts.
- Refinements for Live Activity: The beta also incorporates various miscellaneous fixes aimed at improving the stability and performance of the Live Activity feature. This suggests a focus on enhancing real-time data presentation and overall responsiveness.
