Garmin has released beta version 13.22 for Fenix 7, Epix 2, Quatix 7 and MARQ 2 smartwatches. The update also offers several bug fixes, including an issue that prevented some Connect IQ watch faces from properly entering sleep mode. Issues with the “HR Zone” setting and heart rate connection icon have also been resolved.
Garmin has fixed a bug that caused the watches to shut off unexpectedly during vigorous activity and when owners were locked out of their wallets. Specifically for the MARQ 2, an issue with the Optical Heart Rate Sensor (OHR) turning on when turned off has been resolved. The company says it has updated its specs on smartwatches.
Beta version 13.22 will arrive directly to eligible wearables OTA. You can get the update immediately by going to Menu > System > Software Update > Check for Updates. Garmin recommends that all public beta users install security_config files on their smartwatches, enabling additional features and automatically generating files in response to new bugs. The last security_config file was added on May 25, the versions for each wearable can be downloaded here. The previous update, v13.19, included fixes for battery drain issues that many users reported when using CIQ watch faces. If you want to join the Garmin beta program, you can do so through Garmin Connect.
