Garmin has pushed a new beta update to some users of the Fenix 8 AMOLED, Fenix 8 Solar, Fenix 8 Pro AMOLED, Fenix 8 Pro MicroLED, Fenix E, Quatix 8 and Enduro 3 smartwatches. The last release in this testing cycle was version 22.29, which included a wide range of bug fixes for these wearables. Early adopters report a smoother navigation and quicker responses on the touchscreen, though betas tend to behave differently depending on firmware combinations and sensor setups that people run in daily life.
Snapshot of Changes
The new Garmin beta version 22.32 update brings five changes for the Fenix 8 and related smartwatches. According to the change log (below), the responsiveness of volume adjustments using the touchscreen has been improved. There is a bug fix for issues linked to multisport workouts, which could cause the watches to freeze or reset. Garmin has also tackled a problem which could cause the wearable to reset unexpectedly. The update also includes tweaks aimed at smoother wake gestures and more stable screen redraws when switching between apps during workouts. Each tweak seems small, but collectively they should feel snappier overall.
Nutrition Glance and Translations
The release notes, shared in a recent post on the Garmin forum, mention a change linked to the Fenix 8’s Nutrition Glance. Users can now log both the hour and the minute of a meal time; previously, users could only specify the hour of the meal when logging their food. Plus, translations have been updated, though unfortunately, Garmin has not clarified which languages benefit from this update. The wording in the notes hints at broader international support, but the specifics remain unclear to many testers and enthusiasts.
Beta Availability and Restrictions
Garmin’s beta version 22.32 release is now available for all beta testers of the Fenix 8, Fenix E, Quatix 8 and Enduro 3 (curr. $749.99) smartwatches. It is worth noting that, as is typical for such testing updates, the ECG and Dive features are disabled. The update arrives through standard beta channels and is expected to precede a wider public rollout once stability checks are completed. Users reporting improved touchscreen volume control and fewer unexpected resets might soon see those signals reflected in daily wear.
