Garmin is introducing a new beta software update, version 23.24, to a selection of its high-end smartwatches. This update targets users of the Fenix 7 series (including the Fenix 7 Pro), the Epix 2 series (including the Epix Pro), the Enduro 2, the Quatix 7, and the Marq Gen 2 models. This release focuses on addressing a few critical bugs to improve the stability and reliability of the user experience across these flagship devices.
Key Fixes and Stability Improvements
- Fixed an issue with Tide Alerts displaying incorrect data.
- Fixed an issue where the device would sometimes shut down when editing an activity’s settings.
- Fixed an issue where the device would sometimes shut down when configuring a watch face.
The primary goal of the 23.24 beta update is to resolve several frustrating issues reported by the user community. A major fix addresses a problem with Tide Alerts displaying inaccurate information, ensuring that mariners and water enthusiasts receive reliable, correct tidal data. Furthermore, the update tackles stability issues that could lead to unexpected device shutdowns. Specifically, Garmin has fixed bugs that occasionally caused the smartwatch to power off unexpectedly when a user was either editing the settings for an activity or when they were in the process of configuring a watch face. These fixes should result in a much smoother, more dependable operation during day-to-day use and customization.
