Garmin has released beta update 12.32 for the Fenix 8, Fenix 8 Solar, Enduro 3, and Fenix E smartwatches. This update comes a week after version 12.31, which fixed a number of bugs.

Here's What We Know

In the new firmware, the company fixed an issue that could cause the watch to freeze when opening Map Manager in the Garmin Connect Mobile app. The process of connecting sensors has also been improved: now devices in pairing mode are displayed first in the search list.

In addition, Garmin has limited the use of Workout Execution Score to running and cycling activities. This feature evaluates the accuracy of the workout and was improved in December 2024. However, the company did not explain the reason for this decision and did not specify whether it was temporary.

Beta version 12.32 is already available for download for Fenix 8 users.
