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<\/a>, which included a wide range of bug fixes for these wearables.
<\/p>\n

The new Garmin beta version 22.32<\/a> 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.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The release notes, shared in a recent post on the Garmin forum<\/a>, mention a change linked to the Fenix 8\u2019s 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. <\/p>\n

Garmin\u2019s 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<\/a>) smartwatches. It is worth noting that, as is typical for such testing updates, the ECG and Dive features are disabled. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Garmin has pushed a new beta update to some users of the Fenix 8 AMOLED, Fenix 8 Solar,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":677285,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[249017,214,249015,49,48,5259,5261,5260,195,1245,21305,215,207,213,206,216,173657,212,208,209,226,249014,5262,61,211,210,249016,227],"class_list":["post-677284","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-gadgets","tag-22-32","tag-benchmarks","tag-beta-version-22-32","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-enduro-3","tag-fenix-8","tag-fenix-e","tag-gadgets","tag-garmin","tag-garmin-fenix","tag-graphics-card","tag-laptop","tag-netbook","tag-notebook","tag-processor","tag-quatix-8","tag-reports","tag-review","tag-reviews","tag-smartwatch","tag-software-version-22-32","tag-tactix-8","tag-technology","tag-test","tag-tests","tag-v22-32","tag-wearable"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/677284","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=677284"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/677284\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/677285"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=677284"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=677284"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=677284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
