Garmin reinstates missing changes for Fenix 6, Enduro, Marq, Quatix 6 and Tactix Delta smartwatches in new Beta Version 25.91 update

Garmin has issued another minor beta update for Fenix 6, Enduro, Marq, Quatix 6 and Tactix Delta series smartwatches, following last month's release of Beta Version 25.89. While the company has not moved this round of beta development into Release Candidate territory yet, Beta Version 25.91 is available as an over-the-air (OTA) download or through Garmin Mobile Connect (GCM) and Garmin Express. Hence, all public beta testers who own Fenix 6, Enduro, Marq, Quatix 6 or Tactix Delta smartwatches should receive Beta Version 25.91 within the next few days.

According to the company's changelog, Beta Version 25.91 fixes an issue that caused manual Wi-Fi synchronisations to be reported as having failed. Please note that this only occurred on Pro smartwatches, restricting it to the Fenix 6 Pro and Fenix 6S Pro. Beta Version 25.91 does not contain any GPS, Sensor Hub, Wi-Fi or ANT/BLE/BT updates though, nor any new secure_config.gcd files. As such, it should be possible to download and install Beta Version 25.91 without making any further changes.

Also, it seems that Garmin erroneously removed bug fixes from last week's changelog. In short, Garmin appeared to remove 17 changes that it had developed between v25.10 and Beta Version 25.88. However, these have all returned in the changelog for Beta Version 25.91, bringing the total changes between v25.10 and the latest beta to 35. For reference, the full changelog that Garmin has included so far from the last stable update are as follows:
