Garmin brings over two-dozen changes to Fenix 7, Enduro 2, Epix 2, Quatix 7 and Marq 2 smartwatches with new beta update

Garmin has started rolling out Beta Version 13.13 to Fenix 7, Enduro 2, Epix 2, Quatix 7 and Marq 2 series smartwatches, nearly two weeks after offering Beta Version 13.10. As with other beta builds, Beta Version 13.13 is only accessible from the main settings menu and not Garmin Connect Mobile (GCM). For reference, you can download the new beta update by heading to Menu, System, Software Update and then Check For Updates.

Currently, Garmin has not confirmed when it will return to using GCM as a distribution method. Instead, it has only confirmed that it will start offering beta updates automatically 'later in the Public Beta cycle'. Regardless, Beta Version 13.13 focuses on bug fixes, with one new feature and a handful of improvements. As the changelog below shows, the new beta build adds Connect IQ App Review flow, which we suspect relates to being able to review Connect IQ apps from the main settings menu.

Moreover, Garmin claims to have addressed numerous shutdown issues that existed in Beta Version 13.10. Purportedly, Beta Version 13.13 also improves the default maps app, which is spread across four changes. You can view the full changelog below or on Garmin's forum post.
