Garmin Beta Version 28.07 for Fenix 7 and Enduro 2 Smartwatches, Digi Mart USA News: Garmin has moved its beta development for the Fenix 7 series to Beta Version 28.07, according to a forum post by the company reported by Notebookcheck. The earlier Beta Version 28.02 was the first major update for the Fenix 7 series in three months and arrived with nine overarching changes from System Software 27.18.
The new beta is available on non-Pro and Pro-branded models, including the Fenix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar. Garmin has classified it as a “Check for Updates” only release, so users must request it manually by going to Settings, System and Software Update, then tapping “Check for Updates”.
According to Garmin, Beta Version 28.07 makes two significant changes compared with Beta Version 28.02. It is meant to resolve an issue that could cause some Enduro 2, Epix, Fenix 7 and Quatix 7 smartwatches to shut down when paired to a bike shifter. It also addresses a separate bug in which the same watches could enter sleep mode even after the feature had been manually disabled.
Garmin also states that Beta Version 28.07 keeps ECG functionality disabled. Notebookcheck notes that more v28.xx beta updates may follow before development moves to the stable software branch.
The full list of changes between System Software 27.18 and Beta Version 28.07 was not included in the supplied text.
