Garmin is now releasing a new beta software update, version 26.05, for the Forerunner 165, Forerunner 265, Forerunner 955, and Forerunner 965. Since this is a beta update, users must join the beta program, and there may be some bugs present. However, this update aims to address several issues.

Important Fixes and Improvements

This update brings several key fixes to enhance the stability and overall user experience of the watches. A significant bug that has been addressed is the “Find My Device” alert, which will now sound even if the watch is locked with the Passcode feature, fixing a possible security flaw. There’s also been a resolution to a problem where users were unable to use the pan/zoom mode on the map when their activity was paused. Additionally, a bug that sometimes kept the Red Shift display mode from turning off automatically after the user’s designated sleep time has been corrected.

Enhancements for Golf Sensors

The changelog includes enhancements for golf sensors, specifically fixing missing averages for clubs and suggestions when the watches are connected to CT10 sensors. Users can now press and hold the lap key to switch sports during multisport activities, allowing for a lap press to be used for tracking laps, breaks, or sets in the current sport. Lastly, the update resolves an issue where the wrong playback time appeared when fast-forwarding through music tracks.
