Garmin has released beta version 17.27 for owners of the Fenix 8 AMOLED, Fenix 8 Solar, Fenix E, Tactix 8, and Enduro 3 smartwatches. This update comes just after the previous beta version 17.25, which included two fixes related to potential crashes of the watch.
New Bug Fixes
The change log for beta version 17.27 includes two new bug fixes. The first fix addresses a problem related to Multisports activities. Users faced difficulties while trying to modify the Power Save Timeout Setting, but this issue has now been corrected. The second fix resolves a bug that could make the time displayed on the watch face inaccurate. It seems the time would freeze until users interacted with the device.
OTA Update Availability
A post on the Garmin forum states that this over-the-air update has been distributed to all users of the Fenix 8, Fenix 8 Solar, Fenix E, Tactix 8, and Enduro 3 smartwatches (current price $899.99 at Amazon). The message further indicates that, as with most beta updates, the ECG, Dive, and Aviation features remain turned off. This implies that Garmin plans to test additional new features or fixes before releasing a final version of the 17.xx software to all users of these devices.
