Latest Update Issues for the Garmin Venu X1
The Garmin Venu X1 smartwatch recently got a new update, version 16.40, which arrived just a few weeks after the previous one, 16.37. The main focus was to fix some bugs that were affecting the device, including a problem with how the serial number displayed on the About page. It’s kinda weird how sometimes these glitches pop-up, and Garmin is quick to patch them up!
What’s Fixed with Version 16.40
This update was pretty minor, mainly fixing a bug rather than introducing new features. The update’s change log clearly states that the issue with displaying the serial number has been resolved. Honestly, that was kinda annoying, so it’s good to see it fixed. It seems like this bug only affected the Venu X1, while the Venu 4 and vivoactive 6 didn’t have the same issues, which is probably why they didn’t get this update.
User Confirmation and How to Install
A Garmin spokesperson posted on their forum confirming that the new software 16.40 is now ready for every Venu X1 user. If you own one, your device should get this update automatically when you connect it to Garmin Connect Mobile or Garmin Express. But for those who wanna be sure or maybe force the update, you can do it manually: just go to Main Menu, then Settings, select System, and pick Software Update to see if it’s available.
