Garmin Venu 4 gets second beta update: version 15.10 rolls out with familiar changelog
Garmin has started rolling out Beta Version 15.10 for the Venu 4, marking the smartwatch’s second beta release since its September 2025 debut. Interestingly, the published release notes mirror those from the earlier 15.08 update, suggesting the focus remains on stability and polishing everyday features. It’s not yet clear if additional under-the-hood fixes are included beyond what’s listed.
What’s included based on the 15.08 notes
– You can now power down the watch without entering your device passcode.
– The click sound that plays when starting a voice note has been reduced.
– Fix for a muted speaker or unexpected reboot when attempting to answer a phone call.
– Correction to the notification count shown on certain watch faces.
– Fix for the time displayed in the Evening Report.
– Stability improvements to prevent crashes when multiple smart notifications arrive in quick succession.
Why this matters
These tweaks target quality-of-life issues that affect daily use, especially call handling, notifications, and small audio annoyances. Even minor refinements can make the Venu 4 feel more responsive and reliable, which is exactly what many users expect from beta updates.
How to get the update
If you’re enrolled in the Venu 4 Beta Program:
– On your watch, go to Main menu > Settings > System > Software Update > Check For Updates.
Helpful tips before updating
– Ensure your watch has sufficient battery charge.
– Sync with your phone and back up any important data via Garmin Connect.
– If you don’t see the update immediately, check again later as rollouts can take time.
Bottom line
Beta 15.10 for the Garmin Venu 4 appears to continue the fine-tuning introduced in 15.08, honing performance, sound behavior, and notification reliability. If you’re in the beta program, it’s a worthwhile install to keep your Venu 4 running smoothly while Garmin prepares the next round of improvements.
