Garmin has rolled out a fresh stable update for its Fenix 7, Fenix 7 Pro, and other smartwatches such as the Tactix 7, which is currently priced at $879.99 for a refurbished model on Amazon. This new Software Version 18.16 comes less than a month after the previous update, Software Version 18.14, was introduced to the same series of smartwatches. Other devices that are part of this lineup include the Enduro 2, Epix 2, MARQ Gen 2, and Quatix 7.
Update Details
Interestingly, Software Version 18.16 was released just a day after Garmin provided a similar update through its Beta Program. In a few ways, this latest stable version has fewer modifications than what Garmin previously indicated was in the Beta Version 18.16. Specifically, the company outlines several enhancements for the latest Fenix 7 update, but it’s important to note that the changes may not be as extensive as expected.
Improvements and Fixes
In total, the update includes seven bug fixes along with one improvement when compared to Software Version 18.14. Garmin's forum post states that Software Version 18.16 should now be available to around 50% of eligible smartwatches. If users want to bypass the staggered rollout, they can do so by navigating to System Settings, then Menu, System, Software Update, and selecting 'Check for Updates'.
