Garmin is rolling out a significant beta software update, version 15.10, for its Vivoactive 6 smartwatches. This new release introduces a host of features and crucial stability fixes designed to enhance the overall user experience, particularly concerning health tracking and notification reliability. Users participating in the beta program can now access these improvements.
Enhanced Health and Wellbeing Tracking
A key addition in this update is the inclusion of a new glance focused on health data changes and overall wellbeing. This feature provides users with an immediate, summarized view of shifts and trends in their vital health statistics, helping them monitor their body’s status at a quick glance and potentially offering deeper insights into their day-to-day health fluctuations.
Important System and Notification Stability Fixes
Version 15.10Â addresses several annoying bugs that were impacting the user experience. Notably, it resolves an issue where the notification number on the watch face could be incorrect, ensuring users see the right count of pending alerts. Furthermore, a fix has been implemented for the evening report not displaying at the proper time, guaranteeing that this summary of the day’s activity appears as scheduled. Critical stability is also improved with a fix that prevents the device from rebooting when receiving multiple smart notifications in a row, which should lead to a much more reliable notification experience.
Improved Device Usability
In a change focused on convenience and user accessibility, the update now allows the device to be powered down without requiring a passcode. This streamlined process makes it easier and quicker for users to turn off their Vivoactive 6 when necessary. Additionally, the release incorporates various bug fixes and general improvements to the underlying system, contributing to smoother performance and a more polished interface.
How to Install Beta Version 15.10
For Vivoactive 6 users who are enrolled in the beta program, downloading and installing this update is a simple process. To get version 15.10Â on your smartwatch, navigate through the main menus using the following path: Main menu > Settings > System > Software Update > Check For Updates.
