Garmin has rolled out stable software version 20.26 for the Forerunner 955 smartwatch, bringing along some fresh features and important bug fixes. Among the standout additions are a Device Settings Backup and Restore tool and the much-anticipated Garmin Share feature. The latter allows users to effortlessly send workout or map-related data to another compatible Garmin device, making data sharing more streamlined than ever.
Another exciting update is the integration of the Garmin Run Coach feature with the Garmin Connect app, alongside some nifty improvements for swimmers. The update has also adjusted race time predictions by considering users’ fitness levels and recent workout data. However, this change hasn’t been received with universal approval. Some users feel that the new predictions are unrealistic, while others are pleased to find that the metrics have shifted from being pessimistic to more optimistic.
Despite these enhancements, one recurring issue persists: battery drain. Many customers continue to flag this problem, indicating it’s an area Garmin still needs to address.
For those eager to update their Forerunner 955, the process is straightforward. Simply navigate to ‘Check For Updates’ from your watch’s menu to start the installation.
Overall, the software version 20.26 update packs a lot of potential for enhancing the user experience, even though there are a few hiccups along the way.
