Garmin reveals latest Feature Update with new Health Status History and Recovery Mode features
Garmin has had a busy few months, with multiple product announcements and software updates having occurred since its previous Feature Update. For instance, the company updated its Forerunner smartwatch series in mid-May with the release of the Forerunner 70 and Forerunner 170 (curr. $299 on Amazon).
Now, it has returned with the May 2026 Smartwatch and Cycling Computer Feature Update. For some reason, Garmin has focused on the latter in its official announcement. Currently, it has only showcased added Gear Tracking and Bosch eBike smart system on Edge devices like the Edge 550 or Edge 1050. However, the May 2026 update is also said to include the following changes:
According to Garmin, these new features have already begun rolling out in some cases. For instance, the 'premium golf features' described in the comparison chart above appear to have already been expanded on the Fenix E and Fenix 8 series with the release of System Software 22.35.
Garmin claims it will continue to update devices over the coming weeks. Unfortunately, it has not yet given any timescale for doing so. Please see the images above and below for more details, as well as Garmin's official announcement.
