Garmin has unveiled a fresh firmware update for its beloved mid-range smartwatch, the Forerunner 265. While this update might not be as substantial as the one rolled out earlier this month, it addresses significant bugs that could potentially disrupt your activities if left unattended.
The Forerunner 265 has been graced with another update just two weeks after the company released System Software 20.26. Although Garmin usually follows up with beta updates after such releases, this time, they have opted for another stable update, which is now available worldwide.
Eager users can manually check for updates on their Garmin smartwatch by navigating through Menu > System > Software Update > Check For Updates.
So, what’s new with Software Version 20.29? According to Garmin’s changelog, this update focuses on two main issues. First, it fixes a bug that caused the incident detection feature to remain active post-activity. Secondly, it resolves a ‘rare’ problem where the device could crash upon starting a new activity. This doesn’t bring as many changes as the previous update, but it highlights Garmin’s commitment to ensuring a seamless user experience.
For those interested in the finer details of what the update entails, further information is available on Garmin’s forums.
The Forerunner 265 continues to be a formidable competitor in the smartwatch market, offering a great balance of features and performance, now further refined with these crucial fixes. Keep your device updated to enjoy an optimal performance experience.
