    Beta 22.83 Firmware Update Dispatched for Fenix 6 Series

    The Fenix 6 series has now moved to the latest 22.83 beta firmware update. Garmin has dispatched a new beta version for the Fenix 6 series with tons of fixes and improvements. The previous 22.80 beta software version has given an almost stable experience to users since the last alpha version. With the 22.83 beta update, users will not see any new features, but the stability of existing features and services. The major UI issues with HRV status glance and VO2 Max glance has been fixed.

    Further, the intermittent issue with VO2 max history graphs has been solved by the company. In the latest beta, Garmin has found that the watch failed to send the last 7-day history of HRV data to Garmin Connect app. The company has now taken care of the problem in this version. It has also solved the problem with the glances, where the HRV widget and training status would not be accessible when it is turned off.
