Garmin is introducing a significant stable software update, version 23.20, for its Approach S70 smartwatches. This update brings a variety of fixes and enhancements, aiming to improve the overall functionality, security, and user experience for owners of this premium golf and everyday activity watch.
Enhanced Security and Activity Fixes
A key addition in this release is the support for a device passcode. This new feature substantially improves the security of the Approach S70, ensuring that personal data and settings are protected from unauthorized access. This is a welcome security enhancement for all users.
The update also addresses several bugs reported in various activity profiles. Specifically, Garmin has fixed a potential issue with the displayed weight within the “Edit Set” page of the Strength activity, ensuring more accurate workout tracking. Furthermore, users of the Pool Swim activity will benefit from a fix that resolves possible incorrect data being displayed in the lap review. A separate fix also resolves potential issues related to the open sensor connection confirmation prompt, leading to smoother pairing experiences.
Refreshed Widget Appearances
In addition to the core functional and security changes, the user interface for several widgets has been given a modern refresh. The appearance of the weekly Stress graph has been updated, likely offering a clearer and more intuitive visual representation of the wearer’s stress levels over time. Similarly, the graphical display within the Breathing Variations widget has been updated. These aesthetic changes enhance the watch’s ability to present health and wellness data in an easily digestible format, contributing to a more pleasant user experience.
Availability and User Benefit
This rollout of stable software version 23.20 signifies Garmin’s ongoing commitment to refining the Approach S70 platform. Users can expect improved security, more accurate performance tracking across key activities like strength and swimming, and a refreshed look for some of the health-focused widgets. Owners of the Approach S70 should look for the update to become available on their devices soon.
