To recap, Beta Version 20.13 arrived <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Garmin-releases-new-update-for-high-end-smartwatches-with-over-half-a-dozen-changes-and-improvements.1144662.0.html\" target=\"_self\" class=\"internal-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">with over half a dozen big fixes<\/a> but no new features.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Additionally, Garmin decided against offering Beta Version 20.13 to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Garmin-releases-Fenix-8-Pro-for-2k-with-LTE-connectivity-and-battery-life-killing-microLED-display.1103775.0.html\" target=\"_self\" class=\"internal-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">newer Fenix 8 Pro<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Garmin-Connected-Multisport-Smartwatch-Technology\/dp\/B0FPMHZYMN?tag=nbcnewsnet-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" class=\"external-link-new-window\">(curr. $1.199.99 on Amazon)<\/a>, despite recently adding the high-end smartwatch to its Public Beta Program. The same is true for its replacement, Beta Version 20.14, which Garmin is offering as an over-the-air (OTA) update for Beta Program participants. Therefore, the update should reach Enduro 3, Fenix E, Fenix 8 and Tactix 8 owners within the next day or so.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">It seems that Garmin has a few more beta builds up its sleeve before transitioning v20.xx development to its stable software branch, though. Although not said explicitly in its <a href=\"https:\/\/forums.garmin.com\/beta-program\/fenix-8-series\/f\/announcements\/424740\/beta-version-20-14--non-pro-only---available-ota\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external-link-new-window\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">accompanying forum post<\/a>, Garmin states the Aviation, Dive and ECG features remain disabled with Beta Version 20.14, which it will only activate with beta updates it anticipates will become stable software. The changelog between Beta Version 20.13 and Beta 20.14 is as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Fixed Tide Alerts Going Off During Sleep Window.Fixed Touch Lock Control Not Toggling When Do Not Disturb Is On.Fixed Wallet Pin Timeout Screen Allowing Users To Bypass Timer.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Notebookcheck-Team.212978.0.html?&amp;tx_nbc2journalist_pi1%5Bmode%5D=show&amp;tx_nbc2journalist_pi1%5Buid%5D=278\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/csm_alex_alderson_photo_98f8faaa46.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Alex Alderson\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Notebookcheck-Team.212978.0.html?&amp;tx_nbc2journalist_pi1%5Bmode%5D=show&amp;tx_nbc2journalist_pi1%5Buid%5D=278\" class=\"j_name\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alex Alderson<\/a> &#8211; Senior Tech Writer  &#8211; 13476 articles published on Notebookcheck since 2018<\/p>\n<p>Prior to writing and translating for Notebookcheck, I worked for various companies including Apple and Neowin.
