Garmin has started pushing out a new software test build, version 28.07, for several of its popular flagship smartwatches. The update is now rolling out to owners of the Fenix 7, Quatix 7, Enduro 2, Epix 2, and MARQ Gen 2 models who are enrolled in the company’s beta program.
What is Fixed in Beta 28.07
- Fixed an issue where the watch would enter sleep mode even after manually disabling sleep mode.
- Fixed an issue where the device would sometimes shut down when paired to a bike shifter.
Rather than introducing brand-new features, this release focuses entirely on fixing two frustrating bugs that affected daily use and cycling workouts.
First, Garmin resolved a software glitch involving the sleep mode setting. Previously, some watches would stubbornly slip back into sleep mode even after the wearer turned the feature off manually. Second, the update fixes a stability issue for cyclists, stopping the smartwatch from randomly shutting down while connected to an electronic bike shifter.
How to Download the Update
If you are part of the Garmin beta testing group, the software should eventually download automatically to your device. However, you do not have to wait for the automatic rollout to reach your watch.
You can trigger the download manually from your wrist by opening the Main menu, going to Settings, and tapping System. From there, select Software Update and choose Check for Updates to start the installation.
