Garmin is initiating the release of a new beta software update, version 20.18, to a range of its top-tier multi-sport and tactical smartwatches. This highly anticipated update targets users of the Fenix 8, Fenix 8 Pro, Fenix E, Tactix 8, and Enduro 3 models, ensuring these devices continue to offer peak performance and reliability.
Note: This Beta software available for the Fenix 8 series will have the ECG feature and Dive features disabled.
Key Fixes in Version 20.18
- Fixed a potential crash when manually ending Sleep.
The primary focus of this specific release addresses a stability concern related to one of the most fundamental features of the watch—sleep tracking.

This improvement ensures a smoother, more reliable transition out of the sleep mode each morning.
