ECG and Dive Feature Note
Garmin says ECG and Dive features are disabled on Fenix 8 series beta software during this part of the Public Beta cycle. If you need those features available, Garmin recommends staying on live software instead of participating in the beta.
Garmin also notes that ECG and Dive features remain available on live software for compatible watches and are expected to return in beta software closer to a live release candidate.
Why This Update Matters
More Stable Golf Tracking
The golf activity crash fix is the broadest change in 22.37. A crash during a round can interrupt scoring, shot tracking, course data, and the saved activity file, so this is a practical fix for Fenix 8 and Quatix 8 users who golf.
Better Dive Data Behavior
The dive depth fix addresses a scenario where depth could automatically return to 0 after reaching maximum depth. Even for beta users, depth data needs to be reliable because it affects the usefulness of the activity summary.
Fenix 8 Pro LTE Reliability
The Fenix 8 Pro-specific LTE LiveTrack fix matters if you use LTE connectivity during activities. Garmin calls out a failure path after an LTE call during an activity, which makes 22.37 relevant for users testing the Pro model's connected safety and tracking features.
Tactix 8 Battery Drain Fix
The Tactix 8 battery drain fix mirrors the targeted 22.37 Tactix beta. It is still useful to mention here because the broader Fenix 8 beta thread covers Tactix-family behavior in the same 22.xx cycle.
Should You Install 22.37 Beta?
Install it if your watch is enrolled in the Public Beta Program and you want the latest fixes for golf, dive behavior, LTE LiveTrack, and battery drain. Wait for stable software if you depend on ECG or Dive features, or if you do not want to troubleshoot beta firmware.
How to Get the Update
For enrolled Public Beta users:
- Keep the watch paired with Garmin Connect Mobile or connected to Wi-Fi
- Open the watch System settings
- Select Software Update
- Install Beta Version 22.37 when offered
Only devices enrolled in Garmin's Public Beta Program will receive this beta update.
