A new Garmin smartwatch, the Approach J1, has been revealed ahead of its upcoming global release. This model is the first of its kind, aimed at a new market for the brand. It has some more unusual features, and also offers an AMOLED display, GPS and an up to 10-day battery life with typical use.

Garmin has relaunched one of its latest high-end smartwatches with a new version. Already available to order in two colours, the new model adds a ceramic coating that should make it more durable than Garmin's other smartwatches.

The Garmin software version 15.52 update is currently rolling out to three of the brand’s smartwatch models. This stable release is said to bring improvements and bug fixes, alongside other changes which appear to benefit Garmin. The update is rolling out in phases to users of the Venu 4, Venu X1 and vivoactive 6 smartwatches.

Rising memory prices are forcing AMD board partners to rethink their GPU priorities — and the Radeon RX 9070 may be the first to feel the squeeze. While not discontinued, the slower model is falling out of favor due to slim margins and poor market demand, with production shifting toward the more profitable RX 9070 XT.

The release brings minor improvements to users of these wearables, as well as a range of bug fixes. In a recent forum post, the company confirms how many users have received the update so far.

Garmin has introduced a new update for its current batch of high-end smartwatches. A rather confusing update, Beta Version 21.16 follows a build from last week that has left Beta Program participants scratching their heads.

The Garmin beta version 16.14 update is now available for users of three of the brand’s smartwatches. While the release notes suggest that it brings several features and improvements to these wearables, users of the Venu X1, Venu 4 and vivoactive 6 actually only gain one upgrade with this free release.
