Garmin has released a new beta update, version 13.07, for its popular smartwatch lineup, including the Venu 3, Venu 3S, and Vivoactive 5 models. This update introduces several key enhancements designed to improve user experience and expand training capabilities.
One of the notable additions in version 13.07 is the inclusion of connection type information for paired sensors. This feature provides users with greater transparency and control over their data acquisition. By displaying the type of connection used by each sensor (such as Bluetooth or ANT+), users can better understand the potential impact on data accuracy and reliability.
For fitness enthusiasts, the update brings significant improvements to both Garmin Run Coach and Garmin Cycling Coach plans. These plans now incorporate supplemental strength workouts, offering a more comprehensive approach to overall fitness. By combining cardiovascular training with strength exercises, users can achieve more balanced and effective results in their fitness journeys.
Furthermore, version 13.07 ensures compatibility with the latest Connect IQ 8 apps, watch faces, and data fields. This allows users to personalize their smartwatch experience even further, tailoring it to their specific needs and preferences. From customized workout routines to aesthetically pleasing watch faces, the expanded app ecosystem provides a wealth of options for users to explore.
To update to version 13.07, users can manually check for updates on their devices by navigating to: Main menu > Settings > System > Software Update > Check For Updates.
It’s important to note that updating to the beta version will temporarily disable the ECG (Electrocardiogram) features on the devices.
This latest beta update from Garmin demonstrates the company’s ongoing commitment to enhancing its smartwatch offerings and providing users with the most advanced and user-friendly experience possible.
