New Garmin beta update brings five changes to smartwatches

Garmin has pushed a new beta update to some users of the Fenix 8 AMOLED, Fenix 8 Solar, Fenix 8 Pro AMOLED, Fenix 8 Pro MicroLED, Fenix E, Quatix 8 and Enduro 3 smartwatches. The last release in this testing cycle was version 22.29, which included a wide range of bug fixes for these wearables.

The new Garmin beta version 22.32 update brings five changes for the Fenix 8 and related smartwatches. According to the change log (below), the responsiveness of volume adjustments using the touchscreen has been improved. There is a bug fix for issues linked to multisport workouts, which could cause the watches to freeze or reset. Garmin has also tackled a problem which could cause the wearable to reset unexpectedly. 

The release notes, shared in a recent post on the Garmin forum, mention a change linked to the Fenix 8’s Nutrition Glance. Users can now log both the hour and the minute of a meal time; previously, users could only specify the hour of the meal when logging their food. Plus, translations have been updated, though unfortunately, Garmin has not clarified which languages benefit from this update.

Garmin’s beta version 22.32 release is now available for all beta testers of the Fenix 8, Fenix E, Quatix 8 and Enduro 3 (curr. $749.99 at Amazon) smartwatches. It is worth noting that, as is typical for such testing updates, the ECG and Dive features are disabled.
