Garmin pushes fresh features and fixes to Venu X1 in new Beta 15.10 update
Garmin is rolling out another beta build for the Venu X1, and it’s a meaningful one. Beta 15.10 continues the company’s v15.xx development cycle that’s been underway since late September and is expected to be bundled into a larger stable release soon.
What’s new
– Three new watch faces to freshen up your look
– A new health-focused glance that tracks changes over time and gives a snapshot of overall wellbeing
– The option to power down the watch without entering a passcode first
Key fixes and improvements
– Resolves an issue where voice notes could replay at half speed
– Fixes a bug that could reboot the device when multiple smart notifications arrive in quick succession
– Corrects notification counts on certain watch faces
– Addresses a problem where answering a phone call while music is playing through the speakers could mute audio or reboot the device
– Ensures the evening report appears at the proper time
– Reduces the click sound at the start of a voice note
– Various performance, stability, and reliability improvements
How to get Beta 15.10 on your Venu X1
This release is currently a manual install for devices enrolled in the Beta Program. On your watch, go to:
Main menu > Settings > System > Software Update > Check For Updates
Why it matters
This update brings useful quality-of-life upgrades alongside noticeable stability gains. The new health glance makes it easier to stay on top of trends, the added watch faces offer more personalization, and removing the passcode requirement for power-off streamlines daily use. The extensive bug fixes should smooth out notifications, calling, and voice note behavior.
If you prefer to avoid beta software, you can wait for Garmin’s next stable firmware, which is expected to roll these changes into a wider release once testing wraps up.
