Garmin has officially initiated the rollout of Beta Version 13.29, a targeted software enhancement designed specifically for the latest generation of rugged wearables. This update is currently being deployed to the Instinct 3 AMOLED, the Instinct 3 Solar, and the budget-friendly Instinct E. While the version number suggests a minor iteration, it addresses critical stability issues for the brand’s most active users.
Stability Fixes for High-Intensity Training
- Fixed possible crash when using Interval Workouts.
The primary highlight of this release is a significant bug fix regarding Interval Workouts. Previously, some users reported intermittent system crashes when toggling through high-intensity training screens or completing specific sets. Version 13.29 eliminates these performance bottlenecks, ensuring that your watch remains responsive and reliable during your most demanding athletic sessions.
