Garmin has recently released a new stable update, version 11.14, for its Venu 3, Venu 3S, and Vivoactive 5 smartwatches. While this update isn’t packed with major features, it does introduce a few enhancements and addresses a known bug.
Enhanced Pool Swim Rest Screen
One of the notable changes in this update is a refreshed rest screen for the Pool Swim activity. This screen now includes enhanced alert tones, providing a more immersive and informative experience during your workouts.
Updated GCM Translations
Garmin has also included a new version of GCM Translations, version 2.21, in this update. While the exact details of the optimizations are not explicitly mentioned, it’s likely that this update improves the accuracy and efficiency of language translations on the watch.
Bug Fix: Right Swipe Issue
Several users have reported that a persistent bug affecting the right swipe function has been resolved in this update. Previously, the right swipe gesture would sometimes “bounce back,” causing unexpected behavior. This issue, which first appeared with update version 10.20, has been addressed in 11.14.
How to Update
You can download and install update 11.14 for your Venu 3, Venu 3S, or vivoactive 5 through the Garmin Connect or Garmin Express apps. Garmin has confirmed that this update is available to all users.
Looking Ahead to Version 12.xx
While the current stable update is 11.14, Garmin’s beta program for version 12.xx is expected to commence soon. This next beta cycle will likely introduce new features and enhancements, building upon the foundation laid by the 11.14 update.
