Garmin hybrid smartwatch gets optimizations in new stable update
Garmin has launched firmware version 2.27 for the vivomove Trend. The hybrid smartwatch was launched in 2023, combining an analog watch face with health and fitness tracking features like sleep and stress level monitoring.
Firmware version 2.27 is a relatively minor stable update. The change log notes that there is a fix for a bug that could lead to incorrect distances on the Connected GPS feature. Plus, there are said to be improvements to the system stability, though no further details are provided. This software arrives seven months after version 2.26, another smaller update that resolved a problem with the wallet tool.
A post from a Garmin team member on the brand’s forum notes that the update has been released for at least 50% of users. When it is available for you, you can download firmware version 2.27 for the vivomove Trend wearable via the Garmin Connect smartphone app or Garmin Express. Garmin states that should users encounter any issues with the update, they report them by creating a new thread in the forum. At the time of writing, no customers have reported problems.
