Garmin Fenix 6 and MARQ receive Alpha update version 23.73 with new tools and bug fixes

The software adds a new activity, Backcountry Snowboarding, and an Exercise Load graph, which indicates the impact of your workout on your body. There are several updates, such as the UI of the nautical units menu, the altimeter calibration has been enhanced with weather forecast data, and the activity profile limit has been increased to 75. Bug fixes include the resolution of a UI issue found in the Recovery Widget. Plus, a problem that caused distances to be displayed in yards and not miles in the Dog Tracking Widget has been fixed; this tool allows you to track a pet wearing a tracking-and-training collar.

You need to install the Alpha update manually; you can download the software and installation instructions for each smartwatch here. The Alpha comes with a Sensor Hub update, version 22.09, and a GPS update, version 6.3, which can be installed after the main software. Alpha version 23.73 follows a recent update, version 23.00, for the same watches, which added a major update to Training Status widget and new Acute Load and Heat Acclimation graphs.
