Garmin is launching the beta version 14.05 update for its Venu 3, Venu 3s, and vivoactive 5 smartwatches. This marks the second update in the new 14.xx testing phase, following the stable software version 13.19 that was released back in March. This prior update improved the Voice Assistant feature for Android devices.

Morning Report Fixes

The beta version 14.05 resolves an issue with the widely-used Morning Report tool, where certain images were not shown properly. Additionally, the update addresses a problem where workouts did not refresh when using the Garmin Coach glance. The release notes for this version mention other minor bugs being resolved and enhancements made, but don’t provide specific details.

Lock Screen Concerns

It remains unclear if this update tackles a recently noted issue regarding the lock screen, which was brought up in discussions on the Garmin forum. A few users reported that a bug in a previous beta update caused their screen to go black when locked, instead of showing the lock symbol. While someone from Garmin recognized the problem, there have been no further announcements on this matter.

How to Download

Users who have the Venu 3, Venu 3s, or vivoactive 5 smartwatches can obtain the update by navigating to Main Menu > Settings > System > Software Update. As is customary, Garmin has stated that the ECG feature will be unavailable during beta testing for the Venu 3 smartwatch (the 45mm Black version currently priced at $449 on Amazon).
