    Garmin Suddenly Releases 8.37 Firmware Update for Fenix 7 Series

    These days Garmin is going through many challenges in its software updates for various watches. In the past, Garmin has to halt software releases for Fenix 6, Fenix 7 & Epix Gen 2 watches due to software failure. The battery drain, performance issue, audio issue, and functions not working properly are major problems in that firmware. After that, Garmin released a stable 21.80 version for Fenix 6 series and an 8.35 version for Fenix 7 & Epix 2 smartwatches.

    The stable version is supposed to solve all the issues on these devices but some devices are still suffering. It is what Garmin’s latest software indicates. Now by stopping the stable 8.35 version, Garmin has suddenly rolled out the 8.37 firmware version.

    The new firmware version is rolling out for Fenix 7 series and Epix Gen 2 watches. After installing the previous 8.35 version, some users were facing a battery drain problem. It means the battery problem is still haunting the company, so they suddenly switch to newer software.

    Still, we don’t know if the current version solves the critical issues on the Fenix 7 series. If you want to install it, then you can download it from your smartwatch. Make sure to backup your watch data before installing it.

    Along with previous fixes, the changelog mentions Garmin has fixed poor cycling VO2 Max and performance condition estimates. All the other changelog is the same as before. The update is rolling out for the first 10% of users, and the remaining will get it soon.

    Fenix 7 series smartwatches are now promoted to the latest 8.35 firmware version. It is the stable version of the previously released 8.35 beta version. Now, after making all the features stable and improving some of them, Garmin has rolled out a new update. Earlier this week, the Fenix 6 series also received a 21.80 stable update, and today, the Epix Gen 2 gets a stable 8.35 version with the same changelog. For Fenix 7 series, the bug fixing list is larger than before.

    In a new update, there are three added functions. It has added the ability to delete Strength workouts from the device. The other is the ability to add workout-related ‘interval’ fields to the data screen. The third feature is feedback for installation angle reset for bike power meters. Apart from that, the fixes have come to Connect IQ, Health activity, Wi-Fi sync issue, golf app, and more. You can read about the full changelog below.
