Garmin is rolling out a new beta software update (version 12.15) for its popular smartwatch lineup: the Fenix 8, Fenix E, and Enduro 3. This update brings a few improvements and bug fixes designed to enhance the overall user experience.
One of the key additions in this beta release is the ability to exit sleep mode directly from the Sleep Mode Power Control screen. This feature offers a more convenient way to wake up your watch without navigating through multiple menus.
Another notable improvement is the enhanced volume control on the Phone Assistant. Users can now adjust the volume level more easily during calls and other audio interactions.
In terms of bug fixes, this update addresses several issues that have been reported by users. These include:
- Fixing the Audio Output setting, which previously implied that the setting was always off.
- Ensuring that Do Not Disturb (DND) Smart Notifications are enabled correctly.
- Resolving issues with data handling in the Stocks app.
- Correcting the timing of PacePro prompts on race day.
- Improving the accuracy of waypoint scanning and selection on the map.
- Preventing scheduled workouts from being incorrectly placed on the calendar.
- Ensuring that Smart Notifications are disabled correctly in general use.
- Addressing text truncation problems in the Moon Phase app.
- Enhancing the clarity of hint text on keyboard pages.
Garmin encourages users to enroll in the beta program to experience these new features and improvements firsthand. However, it’s important to note that beta software may contain bugs and instability. Users should proceed with caution and be aware of potential risks.
This beta update showcases Garmin’s commitment to continuous improvement and providing a seamless user experience for its smartwatch users.
