Now, Garmin has moved ahead with Beta Version 25.10 for the Epix 2, Enduro 2, Quatix 7 and Marq Gen 2 too. Please note that Garmin does not offer beta updates to either the Marq Aviator Gen 2 or the Tactix 7. Also, the company stresses that only 25% of eligible smartwatches have received an automatic notification to download the new update.<\/p>\n

Thus, it may take a few more days before Beta Version 25.10 reaches your Fenix 7, Fenix 7 Pro or associated smartwatch, even if it is already linked with Garmin’s Beta Program. Incidentally, more beta builds are set to follow before v25.xx development transitions to Garmin’s stable software branch. In a forum post, Garmin clarifies that Beta Version 25.10 resolves an issue that prevented a smartwatch from reconnecting to a password-protected Wi-Fi network, which community members had flagged since around Beta Version 25.03.<\/p>\n
