Garmin has launched a new beta update for the Enduro 3, Fenix E, Fenix 8, and Tactix 8, which is currently priced at $1,399 on Amazon. Similar to last week’s update, Beta Version 21.34 does not include Pro-branded smartwatches like the Fenix 8 Pro. Additionally, the changelog for this week’s update has left users in the Beta Program feeling confused.
Bug Fixes and Improvements
Garmin states that Beta Version 21.34 includes seven bug fixes and enhancements to the Course Planner’s performance. Referring to earlier Beta Versions 21.25 and 21.27, the official changelog is as follows:
Those participating in the Beta Program have pointed out that the changelog looks exactly like the one Garmin shared for Beta Version 21.32. Normally, when the changelog is repeated, it suggests that Garmin is reactivating the ECG functionality. Usually, this leads to a quick transition of that beta update to a stable version.
Uncertainty Surrounding Updates
However, in this case, none of that has occurred. Therefore, it remains uncertain what new features Beta Version 21.34 introduces. Anecdotally, users have noticed that Beta Version 21.34 has fixed a crash issue that could happen when changing songs via Bluetooth. As of now, it is unknown when Garmin will move v21.xx development back to its stable software branch.
