Garmin is sending out a fresh, stable software update for its Tactix 8 smartwatches. The new version is labeled 22.38, and it is designed to fix a few annoying bugs that users have been facing.
If your watch has been acting up lately, this update should smooth things out.
What is Fixed in Version 22.38?
Garmin focused on fixing three main problems with this release. Here is what the update changes:
-
No More Golf Crashes: Some users noticed their watch would crash right in the middle of a round of golf. This patch stops those sudden shutdowns.
-
Accurate Dive Depths: There was a strange bug where the dive tracker would instantly reset to zero right after you hit your deepest point. The watch will now track your actual depth correctly.
-
Better Battery Life: A recent glitch was causing the battery to drain much faster than usual. This update fixes that power leak, so your watch lasts longer again.
How to Get the Update Right Now
Your watch might download the update automatically over the next few days. However, if you do not want to wait, you can force the download yourself.
Just follow these quick steps on your watch:
-
Open the Main Menu.
-
