Garmin has launched a fresh stable update for the Instinct 3, Instinct Crossover, and Instinct E smartwatches. This update is rather minor, coming just a few days after the 13.24 version was released.

Bug Fixes and Features

With the new system software 13.25, users of these Instinct smartwatches will benefit from a bug fix related to the Smart Wake Alarm, which will help to prevent potential crashes. This feature, introduced in the previous 13.24 update, helps users wake up more naturally by adjusting the alarm time based on their sleep patterns. Instead of choosing a specific time, users can pick a 30-minute window for waking up, allowing the smartwatch to use health metrics to determine the best moment to alert them, reducing morning grogginess.

Additional Changes

The 13.25 update is not just about bug fixes; it also comes with a translation update for the Garmin Connect Mobile (GCM). It’s worth noting that the earlier 13.24 update added a new Treadmill Walk activity and offered options for customizing the Morning Report for users of the Instinct 3 and Instinct E smartwatches. Additionally, the Instinct Crossover, currently priced at $299.99 on Amazon, has gained new designs for its watch faces.

At this moment, approximately 20% of users with the Garmin Instinct 3, Instinct E, and Instinct Crossover smartwatches have received system software 13.25. The update will be downloaded automatically to the devices when they are connected to either the Garmin Connect mobile app or the Garmin Express software on a computer.
