Garmin is now offering a new table update to its latest batch of high-end smartwatches. Rolling out globally, Stable Version 15.32 should fix a few niggling issues on models like the Fenix 8 and Tactix 8, including one that could cause a device to crash altogether.

Garmin has issued another update for the Enduro 3, Fenix E, Fenix 8 and Tactix 8 (curr. $1,299.99 on Amazon), having rolled out Beta Version 15.32 earlier this week. For context, Beta Version 15.32 arrived roughly a fortnight after Garmin issued what it thought was the culmination of prolonged v15.xx development.

As we discussed at the time, System Software 15.31 brought almost 100 changes to Garmin's four high-end smartwatches. However, it also introduced new bugs that Garmin has attempted to resolve with Beta Version 15.32. Now, the company has transitioned that update to its stable software channel, which it is distributing as System Software 15.32.

Once installed, a crash should no longer occur when dismissing an Action Menu in a CIQ App. Moreover, ABI sensors should now correctly send data to the Tactix 8, too. According to Garmin, around 20% of Enduro 3, Fenix E and Tactix 8 smartwatches should have now received a notification to download its new stable software update. By contrast, the company claims to have offered the same update to at least 50% of Fenix 8 owners. Please see Garmin's forum posts for more details.
