Garmin is pushing out a new beta software update, version 24.07, for a range of its popular Forerunner smartwatches. This update aims to enhance the user experience by addressing several key issues and introducing general improvements. The devices slated to receive this update include the Forerunner 965, 955, 265, 255, and 165 models.
Key Fixes and Improvements in Version 24.07
The latest beta release brings welcome fixes for some persistent bugs. Users of the affected Forerunner models should see an end to a potential crash that occurred in version 24.04 when viewing the list of suggested workouts. This fix will ensure smoother navigation and planning of training sessions.
Enhanced Navigation and User Interface
For runners and explorers who rely on Garmin’s navigation features, the update addresses an important issue with Dynamic Round-trip Routing recalculation. Previously, some users experienced problems when going off course, but this update aims to provide more reliable route adjustments. Additionally, the new software resolves an issue where the device would revert to the watch face within the glance list, improving the overall fluidity of the user interface. Beyond these specific fixes, Garmin has also incorporated various other bug fixes and general improvements to optimize the performance and stability of these Forerunner smartwatches.
How to Manually Update Your Device
For users eager to get their hands on version 24.07, the update can be manually downloaded directly on your device. To do so, simply navigate through your watch’s menu: go to the Main menu, then select Settings, followed by System, then Software Update, and finally, Check For Updates. This process will allow your Forerunner smartwatch to download and install the new beta software.
